A

Inclined at `45^(@)` to the magnetic field

B

Inclined at any arbitrary angle to die magnetic field

C

Parallel to the magnetic field

D

Perpendicular to magnetic field

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The plane of coil will orient itself so that area vector aligns itself along the magnetic field. The plane will orient perpendicular to the magnetic field.
