A square loop, carrying a steady current I, is placed in

A square loop, carrying a steady current I, is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current I₁ at a distance d from the conductor as shown in figure. The loop will experience

1. a net repulsive force away from the conductor
2. a net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane
3. a net torque acting downward normal to the horizontal plane
4. a net attractive force towards the conductor

F₁ > F₂ as and F₃ and F₄ are equal and opposite. Hence, the net attraction force will be towards the conductor.
