A square loop with each side 1 cm, carrying a current of 10 A, is placed in a magnetic field of 0.2 T. The direction of magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the loop. The torque experienced by the loop is ______. Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below. |
zero $2 \times 10^{-4} Nm$ $2 \times 10^{-2} Nm$ 2 Nm |
$2 \times 10^{-4} Nm$ |
The magnetic field is perpendicular to area vector. $ \tau = NIBA = 10\times 0.2 \times \times 1^{-4} N-m = 2\times 10^{-4} N-m$ The correct answer is Option (2) → $2 \times 10^{-4} Nm$ |
