Detailed Solution

Magnetic force on a curved conductor is given by $\vec{F} = i \vec{L_{e}} \times \vec{B} w h e r e \vec{L_{e}} = E f f e c t i v e l e n g t h o f t h e c o n d u c t o r . F o r a c u r r e n t c a r r y i n g l o o p L_{e} = 0 . H e n c e \vec{F_{e}} = 0 . A l s o t o r q u e τ = M B \sin θ . I n t h i s c a s e θ = 0, s o t o r q u e i s a l s o z e r o .$
