$A$ 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:

$A$ current-carrying loop is free to turn in a uniform magnetic field. The loop will come into equilibrium when its plane is inclined at

$A$ loop is formed by a wire of constant length carrying a current $I$ and placed in an external magnetic field $\vec{B}$. The torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting on it depends on which of the following factors?

Write an expression for the torque acting on a current-carrying loop suspended in a uniform magnetic field.

$A$ circular coil of radius $R$ and $N$ turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure,its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge $Q$ through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field $B_0$ parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed,the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully,the magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time):
