Two wires of equal lengths are bent in the form of two loops. One of the loops is square shape whereas the other loop is circular. These are suspended in a uniform magnetic field and the same current is passed through them. Which loop will experience greater torque? Give reasons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As `taupropA`, so the square loop having more area for same perimeter will experience greater torque.
