The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement 1:** The net force on a closed circular current-carrying loop placed in a uniform magnetic field is zero. **Statement 2:** The torque produced in a conducting circular ring is zero when it is placed in a uniform magnetic field such that the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - A closed circular loop carrying current in a uniform magnetic field experiences forces on its segments due to the magnetic field. According to Fleming's Right-Hand Rule, the direction of the force on each segment of the loop can be determined. - For a circular loop, the forces on opposite segments will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Therefore, they will cancel each other out. - Thus, the net force acting on the entire loop is zero. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** True. --- **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - The torque (\( \tau \)) on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ \tau = \vec{m} \times \vec{B} \] where \( \vec{m} \) is the magnetic moment of the loop and \( \vec{B} \) is the magnetic field. - When the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, the angle between the magnetic moment and the magnetic field is 90 degrees. - The torque is maximum when the angle is 90 degrees, not zero. Therefore, the torque cannot be zero in this configuration. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** False. --- ### Final Conclusion: - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is false. ### Answer: The correct option is (C): Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false. ---
