The square loop $ABCD$,carrying a current $i$,is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$,as shown. The loop can rotate about the axis $XX'$. The plane of the loop makes an angle $\theta$ $(\theta < 90^o)$ with the direction of $B$. Through what angle will the loop rotate by itself before the torque on it becomes zero?

  • A
    $\theta$
  • B
    $90^o - \theta$
  • C
    $90^o + \theta$
  • D

$A$ circular coil of radius $9 \, cm$ carrying a current of $2 \, A$ is free to rotate about an axis in its plane perpendicular to an external magnetic field of $\pi \times 10^{-2} \, T$. When the coil is turned slightly and released, it oscillates about its stable equilibrium with a time period of $\frac{1}{3} \, s$. If the moment of inertia of the coil about its axis of rotation is $9 \times 10^{-5} \, kg \cdot m^2$, the number of turns of the coil is . . . . . .
