An irregular closed loop carrying a current has a shape such that the entire loop cannot lie in a single plane. If it is a placed in a uniform magnetic field, the force acting on the loop

A

must be zero

B

can never be zero

C

may be zero

D

will be zero only for one particular direction of the magnetic field

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
