    $0$
  • B

An arbitrarily shaped closed coil is made of a wire of length $L$ and a current $I$ ampere is flowing in it. If the plane of the coil is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$, the net magnetic force on the coil is

Wires $1$ and $2$ carrying currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ respectively are inclined at an angle $\theta$ to each other. What is the force on a small element $dl$ of wire $2$ at a distance of $r$ from wire $1$ (as shown in figure) due to the magnetic field of wire $1$?

$A, B$ and $C$ are three parallel conductors of equal lengths carrying currents $I, I$ and $2I$ respectively. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $x$ and that between $B$ and $C$ is also $x$. $F_1$ is the force exerted by conductor $B$ on $A$. $F_2$ is the force exerted by conductor $C$ on $A$. The current $I$ in $A$ and $I$ in $B$ are in the same direction,and the current $2I$ in $C$ is in the opposite direction. Then:

When current passing through two parallel wires flows in the same direction,the force between them is $......$,while when current passes in opposite directions through the same wires,the force between them is $......$ (attraction,repulsion).
