A straight current carrying conductor is kept along the axis of circular loop carrying current. The force exerted by the straight conductor on the loop is

  1. A zero
  2. B perpendicular to the plane of the loop
  3. C in the plane of the loop, away from the centre
  4. D in the plane of the loop, towards the centre
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) perpendicular to the plane of the loop

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As shown in the following figure straight wire is placed parallel to the magnetic field produced by circular current. Hence, force on wire \(\mathrm{F}=0\) \((\because F=\sin \theta)\)
