A circular loop with an area of 1 cm21 \text{ cm}^2 carrying a 10 A10 \text{ A} current is positioned in a 0.1 T0.1 \text{ T} magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The torque exerted on the loop by the magnetic field is

Options

  1. Azero
  2. B10−2 N m10^{-2} \text{ N m}
  3. C1 N m1 \text{ N m}
  4. D10−4 N m10^{-4} \text{ N m}

Correct answer

A. zero

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic moment of the circular loop is given by M=IAM = IA.

Since the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, the angle θ\theta between the area vector of the loop and the magnetic field is 0∘0^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}}.

The torque exerted on the loop is given by τ=MBsin⁡θ\tau = MB \sin \theta.

Substituting θ=0∘\theta = 0^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}}, we get τ=MBsin⁡0∘=0\tau = MB \sin 0^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}} = 0.
