Question:
A square loop, carrying a steady current I, is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying steady current I1 at a distance d from the conductor. The loop will experience:
A net torque acting downward normal to the horizontal plane
A net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane
A net repulsive force away from the conductor
A net attractive force towards the conductor
Solution:
F1>F2. Hence net attraction force will be towards conductor.
