A horizontal wire of length and mass carries a steady current , free to move in vertical plane is in equilibrium at a height of over another parallel long wire carrying a steady current , which is fixed in a horizontal plane as shown. Derive the expression for the force acting per unit length on the wire and write the condition for which wire is in equilibrium.



Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Current
Figure shows three infinitely long straight parallel current carrying conductors. Find the
(i) magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point lying on conductor .

Figure shows three infinitely long straight parallel current carrying conductors. Find the (ii) magnetic force on conductor .

In Figure, the straight wire is fixed while the loop is free to move under the influence of the electric currents flowing in them. In which direction does the loop begin to move ? Give reason for your answer.

Write the expression for the magnetic moment due to a planar square loop of side carrying a steady current in a vector form. As shown in Figure, this
loop is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current at a distance . Give reasons to explain that the loop will experience a net force but no torque. Write the expression for this force acting on the loop.
