A straight current carrying conductor is kept along the axis of circular loop carrying current. The force exerted by the straight conductor on the loop is

Options

A. Perpendicular to the plane of the loop
B. In the plane of the loop, away from the center
C. In the plane of the loop, towards the center
D. Zero.

Explanation

To solve the problem of the force exerted by a straight current-carrying conductor on a circular loop carrying current, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand the Configuration**:
- We have a straight current-carrying conductor placed along the axis of a circular loop. The axis of the circular loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

2. **Determine the Magnetic Field**:
