To determine whether a current-carrying circular loop can turn around itself (i.e., rotate about its vertical axis) when placed in a uniform magnetic field, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a circular loop carrying a current, placed on a smooth horizontal plane. - The loop has a magnetic moment (m) associated with it, which is directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop. ...
