NEET2013PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A current loop in a magnetic field
Options
- Aexperiences a torque whether the field is uniform or non-uniform in all orientations
- Bcan be in equilibrium in one orientations
- Ccan be equilibrium in wo orientations, both the equilibrium states are unstable
- Dcan be in equilibrium in two orientations, one stable while the other is unstable
Correct answer
D. can be in equilibrium in two orientations, one stable while the other is unstable
Step-by-step solution
For parallel M is stable and for antiparallel is unstable.
