MCQ
An infinitely long straight conductor $AB$ is fixed and a current is passed through it. Another movable straight wire $CD$ of finite length and carrying current is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect weight of the wire
  • A
    The rod $CD$ will move upwards parallel to itself
  • B
    The rod $CD$ will move downwards parallel to itself
  • The rod $CD$ will move upward and turn clockwise at the same time
  • D
    The rod $CD$ will move upward and turn anti-clockwise at the same time

Answer

Correct option: C.
The rod $CD$ will move upward and turn clockwise at the same time
c
since the force on the rod $\mathrm{CD}$ is non-uniform it will experience force and torque. From the left hand side it can be seen that the force will be upward and torque is clockwise.

A special metal $S$ conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of $S$, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius $a$, with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment $m$ is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance $r \gg a)$ from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole $m$, at a point on its axis at distance $r$, is $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}$, where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, $m_1$ and $m_2$, separated by a distance $r$ on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is $\frac{k m_1 m_2}{r^4}$, where $k$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.

$(A)$ $\frac{m}{r^3}$ $(B)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^2}$ $(C)$ $\frac{m}{r^2}$ $(D)$ $\frac{m^2}{r}$
