Step-by-Step Verified Solution

When a current carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field, the coil experiences a torque given by _ = N B i A sin _ _ . Torque is maximum when _ = 90 o ,i.e., the plane of the coil is parallel to the field _ max = N B i A Forces F _ 1 and F _ 2 acting on the coil are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. As the forces F _ 2 and F _ 2 have the same line of action their resultant effect on the coil is zero. The two forces F _ 3 and F _ 4 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. As the two forces have different lines of action, they constitute a torque. Thus, if the force on one arc of the loop is F _ , the net force on the remaining three arms of the loop is - F.
