Question

A current carrying coil is subjected to a uniform magnetic field. The coil will orient so that its plane becomes

• A. inclined at 45$^{\circ}$ to the magnetic field
• B. inclined at any arbitrary angle to the magnetic field
• C. parallel to the magnetic field
• D. perpendicular to magnetic field

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

perpendicular to magnetic field

Answer 2

The plane of coil will orient it self so that area vector aligns itself along the magnetic field. So, the plane will orient perpendicular to the magnetic field.
