- MCQ
A loop of flexible wire of irregular shape carrying current is placed in an external magnetic field. Identify the effect of the field on the wire.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Loop assumes circular shape with its plane normal to the field.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Every part \(( d \ell)\) of the wire is pulled by force \(i ( d \ell) B\) acting perpendicular to current \(\&\) magnetic field giving it a shape of circle.
