An infinitely long, straight conductor A...

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 upward parallel to itself

B

The rod `CD` will move downward parallel to itself

C

The rod `CD` will move upward and turn clockwise at the same time

D

The rod `CD` will move upward and turn anticlockwise at the same time

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
since the force on the rod `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
