Q50 / 236 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

The wire of length l is bent into a circular loop of a single turn and is suspended in a magnetic field of induction B. When a current I is passed through the loop, the maximum torque experienced by it is

  • Correct answer
    A
    14πBIl2
  • B
    14πBI2l
  • C
    14πBIl
  • D
    14πB2Il

Solution

When the wire of length l is bent into circular loop of radius R

l=2πr⇒r=l2π

When current I is passed through the loop, the torque acting on the loop.

τ=nIAB

τ=I×B×πr2

=IB πl2π2=IBl24π=14πBIl2

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