Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other force the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earher knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?
A straight wire carrying a current of $12 A$ is bent into a semi-circular arc of radius $2.0 cm$ as shown in Fig. 4.11 (a). Consider the magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the arc. (a) What is the magnetic field due to the straight segments? (b) In what way the contribution to $B$ from the semicircle differs from that of a circular loop and in what way does it resemble? (c) Would your answer be different if the wire were bent into a semi-circular arc of the same radius but in the opposite way as shown in Fig. 4.11(b)?
