An electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is revolving in an anticlockwise direction in a circular orbit of radius $r$. The atom is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$ in such a way that the magnetic moment of the orbital electron makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic field. The torque experienced by the orbital electron is

  • A
    $\frac{ehB}{4\pi m}$
  • B
    $\frac{ehB}{8\pi m}$
  • C
    $\frac{ehB}{2\pi m}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}ehB}{8\pi m}$

$A$ thin wire of length $L$ made of an insulating material is bent to form a circular loop and a positive charge $q$ is given so that it is distributed uniformly around the circumference of the loop. The loop is then rotated with an angular speed $\omega$ about an axis passing through its centre. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed parallel to the plane of the loop is applied,then the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the loop is:

$A$ coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side $2 \,cm$ is suspended from a vertex such that it hangs in a vertical plane between the poles of a permanent magnet producing a horizontal magnetic field of $100 \times 10^{-3} \,T$.
