A circular loop of N turns and radius r in the xy plane carries steady current I. [See Figure 3]
(a) Show that the magnetic field at point P on the axis of the loop, at a distance from the center, is given by:
B = k * N * I * (2 * r^3)
The force on a magnetic dipole ji in the presence of a magnetic field is given by F = V(ji . B). Show that if j = pk
is located at , then the force on the dipole is attractive and is given by:
F = -k^3 / sqrt(B)
(c) Let j = p(sin oi + cos oj) at 2. Show that the torque on the needle is given by [See Figure 3]:
T = p * N * I * (2 * r^3)
p = cos oi + sin oj
