The plane of a rectangular wire loop, 5.0 cm x 8.0 cm, is parallel to a magnetic field of 0.19 T. The loop carries a current of 6.2 A. (a) What is the magnetic torque acting on the loop? (b) What is the magnetic dipole moment of the loop?
The current through a circular wire loop of radius 10 $\mathrm{cm}$ is 5.0 A. (a) Calculate the magnetic dipole moment of the loop. (b) What is the torque on the loop if it is in a uniform 0.20 -T magnetic field such that $\mu$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are directed at $30^{\circ}$ to each other? (c) For this position, what is the potential energy of the dipole?
A circular loop of wire of area $10 \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ carries a current of 25 A. At a particular instant, the loop lies in the $x y$ -plane and is subjected to a magnetic field $$\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}=(2.0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+6.0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+8.0 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{T} . \quad \text { As } \quad \text { viewed }$$ from above the $x y$ -plane, the current is circulating clockwise. (a) What is the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop? (b) At this instant, what is the magnetic torque on the loop?
