A conducting loop carrying a current `I` is placed in a uniform magnetic field ponting into the plane of the paper as shown. The loop will have a tendency to

A

contract

B

expand

C

move towards positive `x-` axis

D

move towards negative `x-` axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since force on any section of wire will be outward so the loop will have a tendency to expand.
