A circular coil having mass m is kept above ground (x-z plane) at some height. The coil carries i in the direction shown in Fig. 1.143. In which direction a uniform magnetic field `vec B` be applied so that the magnetic force balances the weight of the coil?

A

positive `x`-direction

B

negative `x`-direction

C

positive `z`-direction

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Net force on a current carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field is zero. So magnetic force can not balance its weight.
