Q.

A rectangular loop carrying a current I is situated near a long straight wire such that the wire is parallel to one of the sides of the loop and is in plane of the loop. If steady current I is created in wire as shown in figure below, then the loop:

1 Rotate about an axis parallel to the wire  
2 Move towards the wire  
3 Move away from the wire or towards right  
4 Remains stationary
