$A$ metallic loop is placed in a magnetic field. If a current is passed through it,then

$A$ rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length $l$ joined together by rods of length $d$. The wires are each of the same material but with cross-sections differing by a factor of $2$. The thicker wire has a resistance $R$ and the rods are of low resistance,which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source $V_{0}$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ at $45^{\circ}$ to its plane. Find the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centers of the rods.

Two similar wires of equal lengths are bent in the form of a square and a circular loop. They are suspended in a uniform magnetic field and the same current is passed through them. The torque experienced by:

$A$ small circular loop of conducting wire has radius $a$ and carries current $I$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to its plane such that when rotated slightly about its diameter and released,it starts performing simple harmonic motion of time period $T$. If the mass of the loop is $m$,then find the expression for $T$.

$A$ single circular loop of radius $1.00 \, m$ carries a current of $10.0 \, mA$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $0.500 \, T$ that is directed parallel to the plane of the loop as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop by the magnetic field is:
