QJEEM19Pha045: JEE Main 2019 Physics - Class 12 JEEM19Pha045 Solution: A circular coil having N turns and radius r carries a current…
A circular coil having N turns and radius r carries a current I. It is held in the XZ plane in a magnetic field B . The torque on the coil due to the magnetic field is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A Br2IπN
- B Bπr2IN
- C Zero
- D Bπr2IN
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
According to the question, the situation can be drawn as

Let the current I is flowing in anti-clockwise direction, then the magnetic moment of the coil is
m = NIA
where, N = number of turns in coil
and A = area of each coil =
Its direction is perpendicular to the area of coil and is along Y-axis.
Then, torque on the current coil is
