JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 24)

A circular coil having N turns and radius r carries a current I. It is held in the XZ plane in a magnetic field B$${\mathop i\limits^ \wedge }$$ . The torque on the coil due to the magnetic field is :
$${{B{r^2}I} \over {\pi N}}$$
B$$\pi $$r2IN
Zero
$${{B\pi{r^2}I} \over { N}}$$

Explanation

According to the question, the situation can be drawn as

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 157 English Explanation

Let the current I is flowing in anti-clockwise direction, then the magnetic moment of the coil is

m = NIA

where, N = number of turns in coil

and A = area of each coil = $$\pi$$r2.

Its direction is perpendicular to the area of coil and is along Y-axis.

Then, torque on the current coil is

$$\tau = m \times B = mB\sin 90^\circ = NIAB$$

$$ = NI\pi {r^2}B(N - m)$$
