Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): A planar loop of irregular shape carrying current is subjected to a magnetic field acting perpendicular to the plane of the loop. If the wire is flexible, the loop takes a circular shape. Reason (R): The force acting on each point of a current-carrying loop, in a magnetic field perpendicular to its plane, is radially outward (or inward depending on current direction, tending to maximize the magnetic flux and area into a circle). Select the correct answer from the options given below:
