  • A
    circular loop is greater.
  • B
    square loop is greater.
  • C

$A$ small circular loop of conducting wire has radius $a$ and carries current $I$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to its plane such that when rotated slightly about its diameter and released,it starts performing simple harmonic motion of time period $T$. If the mass of the loop is $m$,then find the expression for $T$.

$A$ square loop of side $2a$ carrying current $I$ is kept in the $xz$-plane with its centre at the origin. $A$ long wire carrying the same current $I$ is placed parallel to the $z$-axis and passes through the point $(0, b, 0)$,where $b \gg a$. The magnitude of the torque on the loop about the $z$-axis is:
