A circular loop of radius `R=20` cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field `B=2T` in `xy`-plane as shown in figure. The loop carries a current `i=1.0 A` in the direction shown in figure. Find the magnitude of torque acting on the loop.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Magnitude of torque is given by
`|tau|=Mbsintheta`
`Here , M=NiA=(1)(1.0)(pi)(0.2)^2`
`=(0.04pi)(A-m^2`)
`B=2T`
and `theta= ` angle between `M` and `B =90^@`
`:. |tau|=(0.04pi)(2)sin90^@`
`=0.25N-m`
