    experiences a torque whether the field is uniform or non-uniform in all orientations.
  • B
    can be in equilibrium in one orientation.
  • C
    can be in equilibrium in two orientations,both the equilibrium states are unstable.
  • D
    can be in equilibrium in two orientations,one stable while the other is unstable.

$A$ closely wound solenoid of $2000$ turns and area of cross-section $1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$ carries a current of $2.0 \, A$. It is suspended through its centre and perpendicular to its length,allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane in a uniform magnetic field of $5 \times 10^{-2} \, T$ making an angle of $30^o$ with the axis of the solenoid. The torque on the solenoid will be:
