  • A
    experiences a torque whether the field is uniform or non-uniform in all orientations.
  • B
    can be in equilibrium in one orientation.
  • C
    can be in equilibrium in two orientations,both the equilibrium states are unstable.
  • D
    can be in equilibrium in two orientations,one stable while the other is unstable.

The torque required to hold a small circular coil of $10$ turns, area $1 \,mm^{2}$ and carrying a current of $\left(\frac{21}{44}\right) \,A$ in the middle of a long solenoid of $10^{3} \,turns/m$ carrying a current of $2.5 \,A$, with its axis perpendicular to the axis of the solenoid is

$A$ wire of length $L$ is bent in the form of a circular coil and current $i$ is passed through it. If this coil is placed in a magnetic field,then the torque acting on the coil will be maximum when the number of turns is

The radius of a circular ring of wire is $R$ and it carries a current of $I \, A$. At its centre,a smaller ring of radius $r$ with current $i$ and $N$ turns is placed. Assuming that the planes of the two rings are perpendicular to each other and the magnetic induction produced at the centre of the bigger ring is constant,then the torque acting on the smaller ring will be:
