An electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is revolving in an anticlockwise direction in a circular orbit of radius $r$. The atom is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$ in such a way that the magnetic moment of the orbital electron makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic field. The torque experienced by the orbital electron is

$A$ uniform magnetic field is established along the positive $z-$direction. $A$ rectangular loop,carrying a current $I,$ is suspended in this magnetic field. Which case corresponds to stable equilibrium?

$A$ current-carrying coil experiences a torque due to a magnetic field. The value of the torque is $80 \%$ of the maximum possible torque. The angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the plane of the coil is

$(a)$ $A$ current-carrying circular loop lies on a smooth horizontal plane. Can a uniform magnetic field be set up in such a manner that the loop turns around itself (i.e.,turns about the vertical axis)?
$(b)$ $A$ current-carrying circular loop is located in a uniform external magnetic field. If the loop is free to turn,what is its orientation of stable equilibrium? Show that in this orientation,the flux of the total field (external field $+$ field produced by the loop) is maximum.
$(c)$ $A$ loop of irregular shape carrying current is located in an external magnetic field. If the wire is flexible,why does it change to a circular shape?

$A$ current-carrying rectangular coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field. In which orientation will the coil not tend to rotate?
