$A$ uniform current-carrying ring of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is suspended by a massless string as shown. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B_0$ exists in the region to keep the ring in a horizontal position. Determine the current $I$ in the ring.

$A$ small coil $C$ with $N = 200$ turns is mounted on one end of a balance beam and introduced between the poles of an electromagnet as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the coil is $A = 1.0 \, cm^2$,and the length of the arm $OA$ of the balance beam is $l = 30 \, cm$. When there is no current in the coil,the balance is in equilibrium. On passing a current $I = 22 \, mA$ through the coil,the equilibrium is restored by putting an additional counterweight of mass $\Delta m = 60 \, mg$ on the balance pan. Find the magnetic induction $B$ at the spot where the coil is located. (in $, T$)

$A$ rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length $l$ joined together by rods of length $d$. The wires are each of the same material but with cross-sections differing by a factor of $2$. The thicker wire has a resistance $R$ and the rods are of low resistance,which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source $V_{0}$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ at $45^{\circ}$ to its plane. Find the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centers of the rods.
