An elastic circular wire of length $l$ carries a current $I$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ (out of the paper) such that its plane is perpendicular to the direction of $\vec{B}$. The wire will experience:

  • A
    No force
  • B
    $A$ stretching force
  • C
    $A$ compressive force
  • D
    $A$ torque

$A$ square loop of side '$a$' carrying a current '$I$' is suspended from an insulating hanger of a spring balance as shown in the figure. The transverse magnetic field '$B$' directed into the paper occurs only at the bottom side of the loop. When the direction of current in the loop is reversed, the change in the reading of the spring balance is:

The circuit in the figure consists of wires at the top and bottom and identical springs as the left and right sides. The wire at the bottom has a mass of $10 \, g$ and is $5 \, cm$ long. The wire is hanging as shown in the figure. The springs stretch $0.5 \, cm$ under the weight of the wire and the circuit has a total resistance of $12 \, \Omega$. When the lower wire is subjected to a static magnetic field,the springs stretch an additional $0.3 \, cm$. The magnetic field is
