A loop of flexible wire of irregular shape carrying current is placed in an external magnetic field. Identify the effect of the field on the wire.

Option 1 -

Wire gets stretched to become straight.

Option 2 -

Loop assumes circular shape with its plane parallel to the field

Option 3 -

Shape of the loop remains unchanged.

Option 4 -

Loop assumes circular shape with its plane normal to the field.

    Correct Option - 4


    Detailed Solution:

    In external magnetic field, a magnetic force acts on every small part of the loop in direction perpendicular to the wire. Thus, loop assumes a shape (circular) in which it covers maximum area

If currents are flowing in same direction, magnetic field will cancel each other, so the currents must flowing in opposite direction

When the ring rotates about its axis with a uniform frequency fHz, the current flowing in the ring is

I=q/T=qf

Magnetic field at the centre of the ring is
