$A$ loop of flexible wire of irregular shape carrying current is placed in an external magnetic field. Identify the effect of the field on the magnetic force acting on the wire.

  • A
    Loop assumes circular shape with its plane normal to the field.
  • B
    Loop assumes circular shape with its plane parallel to the field.
  • C
    Wire gets stretched to become straight.
  • D
    Shape of the loop remains unchanged.

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $25 \,A$ rests on a table. Another wire $PQ$ of length $1 \,m$ and mass $2.5 \,g$ carries the same current but in the opposite direction. The wire $PQ$ is free to slide up and down. To what height $h$ will wire $PQ$ rise (in $\,mm$)? (Take $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$ and $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \,T \cdot m/A$)

Two infinitely long parallel conducting wires $A$ and $B$ carry currents $I$ and $2I$, respectively, in the same direction. The wire $A$ has uniform mass per unit length $\lambda$ and lies on an insulated floor. The wire $B$ is kept fixed at a height $h$ above the floor. The minimum magnitude of $h$ so that the wire $A$ does not rise from the floor is : [$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space]
