In the given figure, the loop is fixed but straight wire can move. The straight wire will lit

Correct answer: B. move towards the loop

  • A. remain stationary
  • B. move towards the loop
  • C. move away from the loop
  • D. rotates about the axis

Explanation

In a situation where a loop is fixed and a straight wire can move, the motion of the wire can be determined by considering the interaction between the loop and the wire when a current flows through them.According to the right-hand rule for current-carrying wires near a magnetic field (in this case, the loop), the interaction between the current in the wire and the magnetic field created by the loop might result in an attractive force, causing the wire to move towards the loop.Possible Correct Answer:(b) move towards the loop### Analysis of Options:

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
