Solution
The correct option is B zero The magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Let us consider two diametrically opposite elements. By fleming's Left hand rule on element AB the direction of force will be Leftwards and the magnitude will be dF=IdlBsin90o=IdlB On element CD, the direction of force will be towards right on the plane of the papper and the magnitude will be dF=IdlB.
