$A$ square loop of side $2a$ carrying current $I$ is kept in the $XZ$ plane with its centre at the origin. $A$ long wire carrying the same current $I$ is placed parallel to the $z$-axis and passes through the point $(0, b, 0)$,where $b >> a$. The magnitude of the torque on the loop about the $z$-axis is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{2 \mu_{0} I^{2} a^{2}}{\pi b}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_{0} I^{2} a^{3}}{2 \pi b^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_{0} I^{2} a^{2}}{2 \pi b}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \mu_{0} I^{2} a^{3}}{\pi b^{2}}$

$A$ closely wound solenoid of $2000$ turns and area of cross-section $1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$ carries a current of $2.0 \, A$. It is suspended through its centre and perpendicular to its length,allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane in a uniform magnetic field of $5 \times 10^{-2} \, T$ making an angle of $30^o$ with the axis of the solenoid. The torque on the solenoid will be:
