Question
A square loop, carrying a steady current I, is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current I1 at a distance d from the conductor as shown in the figure. The loop will experience
-
a net repulsive force away from the conductor
-
a net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane
-
a net torque acting downward normal to the horizontal plane
-
a net attractive force towards the conductor
Solution
D.
a net attractive force towards the conductor
