A current carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field. The Torque acting on it does not depend upon

A

shape of the loop

B

area of the loop

C

magnitude of the current

D

magnetic field

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Torque `vec(tau) = NI (vecA xx vecB)` and it is independent of the shape of current loop.
