The torque experienced by a given current carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field `vec(B) given by B_(0)(hat i- hat j)` would have magnitude

A

`sqrt(2)B_(0)a^(2)I`

B

zero

C

`2B_(0)a^(2)I`

D

`B_(0)a^(2)I`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`vec(M)=Ia^(2)[-hat(i)+hat(j)], vec(tau)=vec(M)xxvec(B)`,
Solve to get `tau=0`.

A closed current-carrying loop having a current I is having area A. Magnetic moment of this loop is defined as vec(mu) = vec(IA) where direction of area vector is towards the observer if current is flowing in anticlockwise direction with respect to the observer. If this loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field vec(B) , then torque acting on the loop is given by vec(tau) = vec(mu) xx vec(B) .
