JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

An infinitely long current carrying wire and a small current carrying loop are in the plane of the paper as shown. the radius of the loop is \(a\) and distance of its centre from the wire is \(d (d >> a)\). If the loop applies a force \(F\) on the wire then

  1. A \(F = 0\)
  2. B \(F \propto \left( {\frac{a}{d}} \right)\)
  3. C \(F \propto \left( {\frac{a^2}{d^3}} \right)\)
  4. D \(F \propto {\left( {\frac{a}{d}} \right)^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(F \propto {\left( {\frac{a}{d}} \right)^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force on one pole \(F = \frac{{m{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi \sqrt {{d^2} + {x^2}} }}\) \(m=\) pole strength Total force \(=2 F \sin \theta\)…
