A long straight wire is carrying current I in the +z direction. The x-y plane contains a closed circular loop carrying current I2 and not encircling the straight wire. The force on the loop will be

  • μ0I1I02π

  • μ0I1I04π

  • zero

  • Depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire.

Solution

D.

Depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire.
