MCQ
A square loop $ABCD$ carrying a current $i,$ is placed near and coplanar with a long straight conductor $XY$ carrying a current $I,$ the net force on the loop will be
  • A
    $\frac{{{\mu _0}Ii}}{{2\pi }}$
  • B
    $\;\frac{{2{\mu _0}IiL}}{{3\pi }}$
  • C
    $\;\frac{{{\mu _0}IiL}}{{2\pi }}$
  • $\;\frac{{2{\mu _0}Ii}}{{3\pi }}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\;\frac{{2{\mu _0}Ii}}{{3\pi }}$
d
Force on arm $A B$ due to current in conductor $X Y$ is

${F_1} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{2IiL}}{{(L/2)}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}Ii}}{\pi }$

acting towards $X Y$ in the plane of loop. Force on arm $C D$ due to current in conductor $X Y$ is

${F_2} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{2IiL}}{{3(L/2)}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}Ii}}{{3\pi }}$

acting away from $X Y$ in the plane of loop.

$\therefore$ Net force on the loop $=F_{1}-F_{2}$

$=\frac{\mu_{0} I i}{\pi}\left[1-\frac{1}{3}\right]=\frac{2}{3} \frac{\mu_{0} I i}{\pi}$

A beaker of radius $r$ is filled with water (refractive index $\frac{4}{3}$ ) up to a height $H$ as shown in the figure on the left. The beaker is kept on a horizontal table rotating with angular speed $\omega$. This makes the water surface curved so that the difference in the height of water level at the center and at the circumference of the beaker is $h(h \ll H, h \ll r)$, as shown in the figure on the right. Take this surface to be approximately spherical with a radius of curvature $R$. Which of the following is/are correct? ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
