$A$ 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?

  • A
    $6.43 \times 10^{-5} \;kg \;m^2$
  • B
    $7.26 \times 10^{-3} \;kg \;m^2$
  • C
    $2.81 \times 10^{-3} \;kg \;m^2$
  • D
    $1.19 \times 10^{-4} \;kg \;m^2$

$A$ 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):

Current $i$ is carried in a wire of length $L$. If the wire is turned into a circular coil,the maximum magnitude of torque in a given magnetic field $B$ will be

Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of
$(i)$ electric dipole $\vec{p}$ in an electrostatic field $\vec{E}$ and
$(ii)$ magnetic dipole $\vec{M}$ in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. Write down a set of conditions on $\vec{E}, \vec{B}, \vec{p}, \vec{M}$ so that the two motions are verified to be identical. (Assume identical initial conditions.)

$A$ 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.
