Solution

The correct option is D 2μ0I1I23π
Force on arm AB due to current in conductor XY is
F1=μ04π2I1I2L(L/2)=μ0I1I2π acting towards the wire in the plane of loop.
Force on arm CD due to current in conductor XY is
F2=μ04π2I1I2L(3L/2)=μ0I1I23π away from the wire the plane of loop.
Net force on the loop =F1F2
=μ0I1I2π[113]=23μ0I1I2π.
