IMPORTANT

A loosely wound helix made of stiff wire is mounted vertically with its lower end just touching a dish of mercury, as shown in Figure. When a current from a battery is started in the coil through the mercury, the wire executes oscillatory motion with the lower end jumping out of and into the mercury. Give reason.

A horizontal wire AB of length 'I' and mass 'm' carries a steady current I1, free to move in vertical plane is in equilibrium at a height of 'h' over another parallel long wire CD carrying a steady current I2, which is fixed in a horizontal plane as shown. Derive the expression for the force acting per unit length on the wire AB and write the condition for which wire AB is in equilibrium.

Write the expression for the magnetic moment (m) due to a planar square loop of side 'l' carrying a steady current I 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 I1 at a distance l. 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.
