AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A rectangular loop of sides 25 cm and 10 cm carrying a current of 10 A is placed with its longer side parallel to a long straight conductor 10 cm apart carrying current 25 A. The net force on the loop is

  1. A \(6.25 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(5.5 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(3.75 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(8.75 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6.25 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Due to symmetry, \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}_3=\mathrm{F}_4 \\ & \mathrm{~F}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}_1 \mathrm{I}_2 1}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}_1} \\ & \mathrm{~F}_2=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}_1 \mathrm{I}_2 1}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}_2} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Net force on the…
