Q21.A rigid square loop of side ‘a’ and carrying current I2 is lying on a horizontal surface near a long current I1 carrying wire in the same plane as shown in figure. The net force on the loop due to the wire will be: (1) Attractive and equal to μ0I1I2 (2) Repulsive and equal to μ0I1I2 3π 4π μ0I1I2 (3) Repulsive and equal to (4) Zero 2π

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the net magnetic force on a square current loop due to a nearby long straight current-carrying wire, involving the determination of forces on parallel and perpendicular segments.

Concepts Tested

Magnetic force on a current-carrying wireMagnetic field due to a long straight wireIntegration for net force calculation

Formulas Used

B = (μ₀I) / (2πr)

dF = I (dL × B)

F_net = F_attraction - F_repulsion
