Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) torque is non-zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Current-carrying rectangular coil is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field. So, the force on each arm of the coil will different giving the resultant force as non-zero. Thus, option (a) is correct. Also, the torque acting on current-carrying coil in non-uniform magnetic field…
