IMPORTANT
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.
