Force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field
Question

A straight wire carrying a current i1 amperes runs along the axis of a circular coil carrying  current i2 amperes. Then the force of interaction between the two current carrying conductors is

Moderate
Solution

As shown in the following figure, straight wire is placed parallel to the magnetic field produced by circular current. Hence, force on wire F = 0.
