Question

Obtain an expression for the torque τ acting on a current carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field B. Draw the necessary diagram.

Two long straight parallel conductors carrying currents, exert a force on each other. Why ? Derive an expression for the force per unit length between two long straight parallel conductors carrying currents in opposite directions. Explain the nature of the force between these conductors.

With the help of a diagram, briefly explain the construction and working of ac generator.

A long, straight horizontal wire X'X is held stationary and carries a current of 3.0 A. A square loop MNPS of side 10 cm, carrying a current of 1.0 A is kept near the wire X'X as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic force acting on the loop due to the wire.
