A current carrying coil will orient itself so that its plane becomes

A

inclined at 45◦ to the magnetic field

B

inclined at any arbitray angle to the magnetic field

C

parallel to the magnetic field

D

perpendicular to the magnetic field

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
