Q55 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (09 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

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. The mass of the loop is m then:

  • A
    T=2miB
  • B
    T=πm2iB
  • Correct answer
    C
    T=2πmiB
  • D
    T=πmiB

Solution

τ=MBsin⁡θ=Iα
πR2iBθ=mR22α
ω=2πiBm=2πT;T=2πmiB

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
