$A$ thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$,as shown in the figure. Initially,it hangs vertically downwards,because of acceleration due to gravity $g$,on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $I$ is passed through the loop,the loop turns about the line $PQ$ by an angle $\theta$ given by

  • A
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\pi r I B_0}{mg}$
  • B
    $\tan \theta = \frac{2 \pi r I B_0}{mg}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\pi r I B_0}{2 mg}$
  • D
    $\tan \theta = \frac{mg}{\pi r I B_0}$

$A$ circular coil of $16$ turns and radius $10 \;cm$ carrying a current of $0.75 \;A$ rests with its plane normal to an external field of magnitude $5.0 \times 10^{-2} \;T$. The coil is free to turn about an axis in its plane perpendicular to the field direction. When the coil is turned slightly and released,it oscillates about its stable equilibrium with a frequency of $2.0 \;s^{-1}$. What is the moment of inertia of the coil about its axis of rotation?
