Two parallel conductors carrying unequal currents in the same direction . . . . . .

$A$ 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:

$A$ $100$ turn rectangular coil $ABCD$ (in $xy$-plane) is hung from one arm of a balance (Figure). $A$ mass of $500 \text{ g}$ is added to the other arm to balance the weight of the coil. $A$ current of $4.9 \text{ A}$ passes through the coil and a constant magnetic field of $0.2 \text{ T}$ acting inward (in $xz$-plane) is switched on such that only arm $CD$ of length $1 \text{ cm}$ lies in the field. How much additional mass '$m$' must be added to regain the balance?

An arbitrarily shaped closed coil is made of a wire of length $L$ and a current $I$ ampere is flowing in it. If the plane of the coil is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$, the net magnetic force on the coil is

Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $10 \ A$ and $4 \ A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $2 \ cm$. Estimate the force on a $4 \ cm$ section of wire $A$. ( $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ SI$ ).
