$A$ rectangular loop carrying a current $i$ is situated near a long straight wire such that the wire is parallel to one of the sides of the loop and is in the plane of the loop. If a steady current $i$ is established in the wire as shown in the figure,the loop will

  • A
    Rotate about an axis parallel to the wire
  • B
    Move away from the wire or towards the right
  • C
    Move towards the wire
  • D
    Remain stationary

$A$ uniform magnetic field of $1.5\; T$ exists in a cylindrical region of radius $10.0\; cm$,its direction parallel to the axis along east to west. $A$ wire carrying current of $7.0\; A$ in the north to south direction passes through this region. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the wire if,
$(a)$ the wire intersects the axis,
$(b)$ the wire is turned from $N-S$ to northeast-northwest direction,
$(c)$ the wire in the $N-S$ direction is lowered from the axis by a distance of $6.0 \;cm?$

Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $8.0 \, A$ and $5.0 \, A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $4.0 \, cm$. Estimate the force on a $10 \, cm$ section of wire $A$.

$A$ uniform conducting wire $ABC$ has a mass of $10 \, g$. $A$ current of $2 \, A$ flows through it. The wire is kept in a uniform magnetic field $B = 2 \, T$. The acceleration of the wire will be ............. $m \, s^{-2}$.

Assertion $(A):$ $A$ wire is bent into an irregular shape with the points $P$ and $Q$ fixed. If a current $I$ is passed through the wire,then the area enclosed by the irregular portion of the wire increases.
Reason $(R):$ Wires carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other.
