Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2 \mu_{0} I^{2} a^{2} b}{\pi\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = BI 2 a =\frac{\mu_{0} I }{2 \pi r } I \times 2 a\) \(F =\frac{\mu_{0} I ^{2} a }{\pi \sqrt{ b ^{2}+ a ^{2}}}\) \(\tau= F \cos \theta \times 2 a\) \(=\frac{\mu_{0} I^{2} a}{\pi \sqrt{b^{2}+a^{2}}} \times \frac{b}{\sqrt{b^{2}+a^{2}}} \times 2 a\)…
