No net force acts on a loop of wire in a magnetic field when

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a current-carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the current in the loop. However, if there is no current in the loop, there is no interaction with the magnetic field, and hence, no force is experienced. Similarly, if no magnetic field lines pass through the loop, there is no interaction with the magnetic field, and hence, no force is experienced. Therefore, when both these conditions are met, there is no force experienced by the loop, and the net force acting on it is zero.
