$A$ thin non-conducting disc of radius $R$ is rotating clockwise (see figure) with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its central axis,which is perpendicular to its plane. Both its surfaces carry positive charges of uniform surface density. Half the disc is in a region of a uniform,unidirectional magnetic field $B$ parallel to the plane of the disc,as shown. Then,

  • A
    The net torque on the disc is zero.
  • B
    The net torque vector on the disc is directed leftwards.
  • C
    The net torque vector on the disc is directed rightwards.
  • D
    The net torque vector on the disc is parallel to $B$.

$A$ 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:

$(a)$ $A$ current-carrying circular loop lies on a smooth horizontal plane. Can a uniform magnetic field be set up in such a manner that the loop turns around itself (i.e.,turns about the vertical axis)?
$(b)$ $A$ current-carrying circular loop is located in a uniform external magnetic field. If the loop is free to turn,what is its orientation of stable equilibrium? Show that in this orientation,the flux of the total field (external field $+$ field produced by the loop) is maximum.
$(c)$ $A$ loop of irregular shape carrying current is located in an external magnetic field. If the wire is flexible,why does it change to a circular shape?

$A$ coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side $l$ is suspended between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet such that $\vec{B}$ is in the plane of the coil. If due to a current $i$ in the triangle a torque $\tau$ acts on it,the side $l$ of the triangle is

$A$ thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$,as shown in the figure. Initially,it hangs vertically downwards,because of acceleration due to gravity $g$,on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $I$ is passed through the loop,the loop turns about the line $PQ$ by an angle $\theta$ given by
