In an experiment,setup $A$ consists of two parallel wires which carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. $A$ second setup $B$ is identical to setup $A$,except that there is a metal plate between the wires. Let $F_A$ and $F_B$ be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup $A$ and setup $B$,respectively.

  • A
    $F_A > F_B \neq 0$
  • B
    $F_A < F_B$
  • C
    $F_A = F_B \neq 0$
  • D
    $F_A > F_B = 0$

As shown in the figure, a wire is bent to form a $D$-shaped loop carrying current $I$, where the curved part is a semi-circle of radius $R$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$, which is directed into the plane of the paper. The net magnetic force on the closed loop is:

An infinitely long,straight conductor $AB$ is fixed and a current $i_1$ is passed through it. Another movable straight wire $CD$ of finite length carrying current $i_2$ is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect the weight of the wire.
