JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

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

  1. A \(\frac{2 \mu_{0} I^{2} a^{2}}{\pi b}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_{0} I^{2} a^{3}}{2 \pi b^{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_{0} I^{2} a^{2}}{2 \pi b}\)Z
  4. D \(\frac{2 \mu_{0} I^{2} a^{3}}{\pi b^{2}}\)
Verified Solution
