A current carrying loop behaves as a magnetic dipole-explain .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
The torque acting on an electric dipole of moment `vec(E),vectau=vec(p)xxvec(E)`
The torque acting on a loop of area `vec(A)` carrying current I in a magnetic field `vec(B),vec(tau)=Ivec(A)xxvec(B)`
Hence . It can be said that a current carrying loop behaves as a magnetic dipole .
