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

A

Contract

B

expand

C

move toward +ve x-axis

D

move toward -ve x-axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Using Fleming's left hand rule, we find that a force is acting in
the radically outward direction throughout the circumference
of the conducting loop.
