AIIMS 2009 Physics Magnetic Force MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
A current I₁ carrying wire AB is placed near another long wire CD carrying current I₂. If wire AB is free to move, it will have
A
rotational motion only
B
translational motion only
C
rotational as well as translational motion
D
neither rotational nor translational motion
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Since the magnetic field, due to current through wire CD at various locations on wire AB is not uniform, therefore, the wire AB, carrying current I2 is subjected to variable magnetic field.
