Question
A wire is passed through a piece of cardboard as shown in fig .. An electric current flows vertically down the wire and then flows back up. The two sections of the write are observed to repel each other.
(a) Wi th the aid of a diagram, describe how you would plot the magnetic field lines on the card .
(b) Sketch the magnetic field patterns around both the sections of the wire. Use your sketch to explain why the two sections repel each other.
(c) The repulsive force between the two sections is small. What changes could be made to increase it?

Solution
(b) Since the magnetic field lines pass through the loop in th e same direction, the two sections repel each other.
(c) To increase the repulsive force, the current through the loop should be increased .
