JEE Advanced · Physics · 20. Magnetism & Current
A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass \(m\) and radius \(r\) and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field \(B_0\), as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity \(g\), on two conducting supports at \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\). When a current \(I\) is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line \(\mathrm{PQ}\) by an angle \(\theta\) given by

- A \(\tan \theta=\pi r I B_0 /(\mathrm{mg})\)
- B \(\tan \theta=2 \pi r I B_0 /(\mathrm{mg})\)
- C \(\tan \theta=\pi r I B_0 /(2 m g)\)
- D \(\tan \theta=m g /\left(\pi r I B_0\right)\)

Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?JEE Advanced 2022 Hard - Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
