A thin stiff insulatedmetal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass m and radius r and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field B0, as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity g, on two conducting supports at P and Q. When a current I is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line PQ by an angle θ given by


- tan q = prIB0/(mg)
- tan q = 2prIB0/(mg)
- tan q = prIB0/(2mg)
- tan q = mg/ (prIB0)
Answer
(A) tan q = p rIB 0 /( mg )
