A current carrying loop of width a and length b is placed near a current carrying wire. How does the net force on the loop compare to the net force on a single wire segment of length a carrying the same amount of current placed at the same distance from the wire

Answer/ Explanation

the loop has no force and the wires cancel each other but the wire on the loop has a force

The segment a get the same force for both but in the loop segment b get an opposite force so the net force on the loop is smaller

The loop wire has forces that all cancel out while the other straight wire doesn't.

iron would move it is magnetic there is a mag field around the current in the wire

v=ir = 3x15 =45 v
