$A$ uniform,constant magnetic field $\vec B$ is directed at an angle of $45^o$ to the $x-$ axis in the $xy-$ plane. $PQRS$ is a rigid square wire frame carrying a steady current $I_0,$ with its centre at the origin $O.$ At time $t = 0,$ the frame is at rest in the position shown in the figure,with its sides parallel to the $x$ and $y$ axis. Each side of the frame is of mass $M$ and length $L.$ Find the torque $\vec \tau$ acting on the frame.

  • A
    $\vec \tau = \frac{B I_0 L^2}{\sqrt 2} (- \hat i + \hat j)$
  • B
    $\vec \tau = \frac{B I_0 L^2}{\sqrt 2} (\hat i - \hat j)$
  • C
    $\vec \tau = \frac{B I_0 L^2}{\sqrt 2} (\hat i + \hat j)$
  • D
    $\vec \tau = \frac{B I_0 L^2}{\sqrt 2} (- \hat i - \hat j)$
