A circular loop with an area of carrying a current is positioned in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The torque exerted on the loop by the magnetic field is
Options
- Azero
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A. zero
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic moment of the circular loop is given by .
Since the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, the angle between the area vector of the loop and the magnetic field is .
The torque exerted on the loop is given by .
Substituting , we get .
