[Illustration: Fig. 14i.] Having thus demonstrated the practical identity of a loop and a magnet, we proceed to examine the effects produced by loops on straight wires. If the loop is placed with a straight wire in its plane along one edge, there will be attraction or repulsion, according to the direction of the two currents, Figs. 20 and 20a, which are obviously the same as Figs. 8 and 8a. [Illustration: Fig. 20.] [Illustration: Fig. 20a.] [Illustration: Fig. 20b.] [Illustration: Fig. 20c.] If the wire is placed parallel to the plane of the loop and to one side, Figs. 20b and 20c, there will be rotation (same as Figs. 4b and 4c). If the loop is horizontal and the wire vertical and on one side, the Figs. 20d, 20e are the same as 4d and 4e. If the loop is horizontal and the wire vertical and axial, 20f and 20g, there will be rotation, and the figures are mere duplicates of 4g and 4h. |
