2. Consider two current loops, each of radius R carrying a current /. The centers are a distance d apart, with d >> R. Take the first loop (1) to lie in the x-y plane with its center at the origin. The second loop (2) is centered at position = d and lies in a plane parallel to the x-z plane. The direction of the currents are clockwise about the +z direction for loop (1) and counter-clockwise about the +y direction for loop (2). Determine the torque and the force of each of the current loops on the other. You should find that in one case Newton's 3rd Law is violated!

Step by Step Solution

There are 3 Steps involved in it

Step: 1

To find the torque and force on each current loop due to the other we can use the BiotSavart law for the magnetic field produced by a currentcarrying ... blur-text-image
