Important Questions on Torque on Current Loop, Magnetic Dipole

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A circular coil of 20 turns and radius 10 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0·10T normal to the plane of the coil. If the current in the coil is 5·0 A, what is the total torque on the coil?

HARD
IMPORTANT

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 the figure? What is the force on each case? Which case corresponds to a stable equilibrium?
