MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A wire of length ' \(L\) ' carries a current ' \(I\) '. If the wire is turned into a square coil of single turn, the maximum magnitude of the torque in a given magnetic field ( \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) ) is

  1. A \(\frac{\text { IBL }}{16}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\text { IBL }}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{IBL}^2}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{IBL}^2}{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{IBL}^2}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(s = \frac{L}{4}\) \(A = s^2 = \left(\frac{L}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{L^2}{16}\)
