Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current
A square loop of side 2a, carrying a current I, is kept in the XZ-plane with its centre at the origin. A long straight wire carrying the same current I is placed parallel to the z-axis and passes through the point (0, b, 0), where b >> a. The magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop about the z-axis is given by:
- 12μ0 I2 a3π b2
- 22μ0 I2 a2π b✓
- 3μ0 I2 a32π b2
- 4μ0 I2 a22π b
Correct answer
2μ0 I2 a2π b
