 Module 5.2: Wire Next to a Loop

Given: A wire loop lies in the same plane as an infinitely long wire. Initially, neither wire is carrying a current.

 Q1.  If I1=0 and a current I2 is made to flow through the loop in the direction shown, what will happen to the loop?
      Nothing.
      It will try to expand.
      It will contract.
 
 Q2.  If in addition to I2, a strong current I1 is made to flow through the linear wire, what is likely to happen to the loop?
      Nothing.
      It will try to expand.
      It will contract.
