JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 11)

A rigid square loop of side 'a' and carrying current I2 is lying on a horizontal surface near a long current I1 carrying wire in the same plane as shown in figure. The net force on the loop due to wire will be : JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 154 English
Repulsive and equal to $$\mu $$0I1I2/4$$\pi $$
Attractive and equal to $$\mu $$0I1I2/3$$\pi $$
Repulsive and equal to $$\mu $$0I1I2/2$$\pi $$
Zero

Explanation

F3 & F4 cancel each other.

Force on PQ will be F1 = I2B1 a

= $${I_2}{{{\mu _0}{I_1}} \over {2\pi a}}a$$

= $${{{\mu _0}{I_1}} \over {2\pi a}}a = {{{\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}} \over {2\pi }}$$

Force on RS will be F2 = I2 B2 a

= $${I_2}{{{\mu _0}{I_1}} \over {2\pi 2a}}a = {{{\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}} \over {4\pi }}$$

Net force = F1 – F2 = $${{{\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}} \over {4\pi }}$$ repulsion
