AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current
A current carrying square loop is placed near a straight infinitely long current carrying wire as shown in the figure. The torque acting on the loop is

- A \(\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{i_1 i_2 l}{a b}\)
- B \(\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{i_1 i_2 l}{a(a+b)}\)
- C \(\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{i_1 i_2 l(b-a)}{a b}\)
- D 0
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 0
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The forces acting on the sides of the square due to current \(i\), all lie in the planes of the coil. Therefore, there is no net torque.
