A square loop of side 2a and carrying current I is kept in xz plane...
A square loop of side and carrying current is kept in plane with its centre at origin. A long wire carrying the same current is placed parallel to -axis and passing through point \left(0, b, 0\right), \left(b > > a\right). The magnitude of torque on the loop about -axis will be :

Options
- A
- B\dfrac{2{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}{a}^{2}b}{\pi\left({a}^{2} + {b}^{2}\right)}
- C\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}{a}^{2}b}{2\pi\left({a}^{2} + {b}^{2}\right)}
- D
Correct answer
B. \dfrac{2{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}{a}^{2}b}{\pi\left({a}^{2} + {b}^{2}\right)}
