$A$ circular loop of radius $R$ carries a current $I$. Another circular loop of radius $r (r \ll R)$ carries a current $i$ and is placed at the centre of the larger loop. The planes of the two circles are at right angles to each other. Find the torque acting on the smaller loop.

  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 i I r^2}{2R}$
  • C

Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of
$(i)$ electric dipole $\vec{p}$ in an electrostatic field $\vec{E}$ and
$(ii)$ magnetic dipole $\vec{M}$ in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. Write down a set of conditions on $\vec{E}, \vec{B}, \vec{p}, \vec{M}$ so that the two motions are verified to be identical. (Assume identical initial conditions.)

$A$ thin non-conducting disc of radius $R$ is rotating clockwise (see figure) with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its central axis,which is perpendicular to its plane. Both its surfaces carry positive charges of uniform surface density. Half the disc is in a region of a uniform,unidirectional magnetic field $B$ parallel to the plane of the disc,as shown. Then,

$A$ square coil of side $10 \; cm$ consists of $20$ turns and carries a current of $12 \; A$. The coil is suspended vertically and the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude $0.80 \; T$. What is the magnitude of torque (in $N \; m$) experienced by the coil?
