In the figure shown,a coil of single turn is wound on a sphere of radius $R$ and mass $m$. The plane of the coil is parallel to the inclined plane and lies in the equatorial plane of the sphere. The current in the coil is $i$. If the sphere is in equilibrium,the value of the magnetic field $B$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{mg \cos \theta}{\pi i R}$
  • B
    $\frac{mg}{\pi i R}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg \tan \theta}{\pi i R}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg \sin \theta}{\pi i R}$

$A$ uniform magnetic field of $0.3 \text{ T}$ is established along the $+z$-direction. $A$ rectangular loop of sides $10 \text{ cm}$ and $5 \text{ cm}$ carries a current of $12 \text{ A}$ and is placed in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. The torque acting on the loop is $....... \text{ Nm}$.

$(a)$ $A$ 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?
