Force on Current-Carrying Conductors
A square current carrying loop is suspended in a uniform magnetic field acting in the plane of the loop. If the force on one arm of the loop is , the net force on the remaining three arms of the loop is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- The net magnetic force on a closed current loop in a uniform field is zero.
- Force on the other three arms .
- So the answer is (b) .
