A current carrying loop is free to turn ...

A current carrying loop is free to turn in a uniform magnetic field.The loop will then come into equilibrium when its plane is inclined at

A

`0^(@)` to the direction of the field

B

`45^(@)` to the direction of the field

C

`90^(@)` to the direction of the field

D

`135^(@)` to the direction of the field

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In equilibrium angle between `vecM` and `vecB` is zero. It is happened, when plane of the coil is perpendicular to `vecB`
