$A$ loop is formed by a wire of constant length carrying a current and placed in an external magnetic field. The torque acting on it does not depend upon:

$A$ circular coil of $20$ turns and radius $10\, cm$ is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $0.10\, T$ normal to the plane of the coil. If the current in the coil is $5\, A$,then the torque acting on the coil will be...... $Nm$.

$A$ uniform magnetic field of $3000 \; G$ is established along the positive $z-$direction. $A$ rectangular loop of sides $10 \; cm$ and $5 \; cm$ carries a current of $12 \; A$. What is the torque on the loop in the different cases shown in Figure? What is the force on each case? Which case corresponds to stable equilibrium?

$A$ circular coil of radius $R$ and $N$ turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure,its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge $Q$ through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field $B_0$ parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed,the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully,the magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time):

$A$ square coil of side $10 \ cm$ having $200$ turns is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $2 \ T$ such that the plane of the coil is in the direction of the magnetic field. If the current through the coil is $3 \ mA$,then the torque acting on the coil is
