Moving Charges and Magnetism - Result Question 59

60. A square loop ABCD carrying a current i, is placed near and coplanar with a long straight conductor XY carrying a current I, the net force on the loop will be :

[2016]

(a) 2μ0Ii3π

(b) μ0Ii2π

(c) 2μ0IiL3π

(d) μ0IiL2π

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 60. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) The direction of current in conductor

XY and AB is same

FAB=iB (attractive)

FAB=i(L)μ0I2π(L2)(arrow)=μ0iIπ(arrow)

FBC opposite to FAD

FBC() and FAD()

cancels each other

FCD=iB (repulsive)

FCD=i(L)μ0I2π(3L2)(arrow)=μ0iI3π(arrow)

Therefore the net force on the loop

Fnet =FAB+FBC+FCD+FAD

Fnet =μoiIπμoiI3π=2μoiI3π
