    A small circular flexible loop of wire of radius r carries a current I. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field B. The tension in the loop will be doubled when:

    A)  I is doubled       

    B)  B is halved

    C)  r is doubled       

    D)  both B and I are doubled

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    If a circular flexible loop is placed in a magnetic field, a deflecting torque \[(\tau )\] acts on it, this is given by, \[\tau =MB\,\sin \theta .\] Where M is dipole moment, B is magnetic field, \[\theta \]is angle between magnetic field and of loop. Also, M = IA where I is current and A the area \[(A=\pi {{r}^{2}})\] \[\pi =I\pi {{r}^{2}}B\,\sin \theta \] When B and I are doubled, the torque is doubled, so, tension is doubled.
