NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentPractice
A circular loop of radius R carrying current I is kept in XZ plane. A uniform and constant magnetic field B → = B 0 i ^ + 2 B 0 j ^ + 3 B 0 k ^ exists in the region ( B 0 - a positive constant) . Then the magnitude of the torque acting on the loop will be
Options
- A2 I π R 2 B 0
- B5 I π R 2 B 0
- C10 I π R 2 B 0
- D6 I π R 2 B 0
Correct answer
C. 10 I π R 2 B 0
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic dipole moment, M → = ± I π R 2 j ^ τ → = M → × B → = ± I π R 2 j ^ × B 0 i ^ + 2 B 0 j ^ + 3 B 0 k ^ τ → = ± I π R 2 B 0 - k ^ + 3 i ^
