$ABCD$ is a rectangular loop made of uniform wire. If $AD = BC = 2 \text{ cm}$,what is the magnetic force per unit length acting on wire $DC$ due to wire $AB$ if the ammeter reads $20 \text{ A}$? (The lengths of $AB$ and $DC$ are large in comparison with the other two sides).

  • A
    $10^{-1} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • B
    $10^{-2} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • C
    $10^{-3} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • D
    $10^{-4} \text{ N m}^{-1}$

When current passing through two parallel wires flows in the same direction,the force between them is $......$,while when current passes in opposite directions through the same wires,the force between them is $......$ (attraction,repulsion).

$A$ current loop $ABCD$ is held fixed on the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The arcs $BC$ (radius $= b$) and $DA$ (radius $= a$) of the loop are joined by two straight wires $AB$ and $CD$. $A$ steady current $I$ is flowing in the loop. The angle made by $AB$ and $CD$ at the origin $O$ is $30^o$. Another straight thin wire with a steady current $I_1$ flowing out of the plane of the paper is kept at the origin. Due to the presence of the current $I_1$ at the origin:
