MCQ
Two identical circular loops of metal wire are lying on a table without touching each other. Loop- $A$ carries a current which increases with time. In response, the loop- $B$(CM is the centre of mass)
  • A
    Remains stationary
  • B
    Is attracted by the loop- $A$
  • Is repelled by the loop- $A$
  • D
    Rotates about its $\mathrm{CM}$, with $\mathrm{CM}$ fixed

Answer

Correct option: C.
Is repelled by the loop- $A$
If the current increases with time in loop $A$, then magnetic flux in $B$ will increase. According to Lenz's law, loop $-B$ is repelled by loop $-A$.
