TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A current carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field 'B' in different orientations I, II, III and IV as shown in the figure. The correct order of decreasing potential energy is ( \(\hat{\mathrm{n}}\)-unit vector normal to the plane of the loop)

  1. A I, III, II, IV
  2. B I, II, III, IV
  3. C I, IV, II, III
  4. D III, IV, I, II
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) I, IV, II, III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential energy in a uniform magnetic field, \(\mathrm{u}=-\mathrm{mB} \cos \theta\) (i) For orientation I \(\theta=180^{\circ} \therefore \mathrm{u}=-\mathrm{mB} \cos 180^{\circ}=\) \(\mathrm{mB}\) (ii) For orientation II…
