A current carrying circular loop is freely suspended by a long thread. The plane of the loop will point in the direction

A

East-West

B

North-South

C

at `45^(@)` with E-W directions

D

In any direction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The current carrying coil behaves like a bar magnet. Hence the freely suspended coil will come to rest in N-S
