The radius of a circular ring of wire is $R$ and it carries a current of $I \, A$. At its centre,a smaller ring of radius $r$ with current $i$ and $N$ turns is placed. Assuming that the planes of the two rings are perpendicular to each other and the magnetic induction produced at the centre of the bigger ring is constant,then the torque acting on the smaller ring will be:

  • A
    $Ni\pi r^2 \times \left( \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \right)$
  • B
    zero
  • C
    $Ni r^2 \times \left( \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \right)$
  • D
    $Ni\pi r^2 \times \left( \frac{I^2}{2R} \right)$
