Question
Will a current loop placed in a magnetic field always experience a zero force?
✓
Answer
If the magnetic field is uniform in space. If it is non-uniform net force will not be always zero.

What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning?
(Hint: The earth has an electric field of about $100 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$ at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density $=-10^{-9} \mathrm{Cm}^{-2}$. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about 50 km (beyond which it is good conductor), about +1800 C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth.)
