Apoorva · Answer

When the current enters in the circular loop, it breaks into 2 parts one in each semicircular arm. By using the right hand pal rule, we get to know that the direction of magnetic field is equal and opposite at the centre and since we use the formula f=q(v×B) to find the resultant at the centre, the opposite direction would cancel the two forces. Therefore there is no net effect of the force.
