$A$ metal wire of length '$L$' is bent to form a circular coil of number of turns '$n$'. The coil is placed in a magnetic field '$B$' and a current '$I$' is passed through the coil. The maximum torque acting on the coil is:

$A$ wire of length $L$ is bent in the form of a circular coil and current $i$ is passed through it. If this coil is placed in a magnetic field,then the torque acting on the coil will be maximum when the number of turns 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?

$A$ uniform,constant magnetic field $\vec B$ is directed at an angle of $45^o$ to the $x-$ axis in the $xy-$ plane. $PQRS$ is a rigid square wire frame carrying a steady current $I_0,$ with its centre at the origin $O.$ At time $t = 0,$ the frame is at rest in the position shown in the figure,with its sides parallel to the $x$ and $y$ axis. Each side of the frame is of mass $M$ and length $L.$ Find the torque $\vec \tau$ acting on the frame.

Two identical conducting wires $A$ and $B$ of same dimensions and same material are bent in the form of circular coils. Wire $A$ consists of a single turn,whereas wire $B$ consists of $2$ turns. Both these wires are then suspended in a uniform magnetic field with their planes parallel to one another,and the same current is passed through them. Which statement is correct?
