A 100 turn closely wound circular coil of radius 10 cm carries a current of 3.2 A. The coil is placed in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about a horizontal axis that coincides with its diameter. A uniform magnetic field of 2T in the horizontal direction exists such that initially, the axis of the coil is in the direction of the field. The coil rotates through an angle of 90° under the influence of the magnetic field. What is the difference of magnitude of the torque on the coil in the initial and final position?

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

  • A current-carrying circular loop lies on a smooth horizontal plane. A uniform magnetic field can be set up in such a manner that the loop turns around itself (i.e., turns about the vertical axis).

  • A current-carrying circular loop is located in a uniform external magnetic field. If the loop is free to turn, the orientation of stable equilibrium is one where the area vector A of the loop is in the direction of the external magnetic field.

  • A loop of irregular shape carrying current is located in an external magnetic field. If the wire is flexible, it changes to a circular shape.

  • None of these.

For the circuit (shown in the figure), the current is to be measured. The ammeter shown is a galvanometer with a resistance RG=60 Ω. The value of current is:

  • 0.004 A

  • 0.032 A

  • 0.222 A

  • 0.048 A

In the circuit (shown in the figure) the current is to be measured. What is the value of the current if the ammeter shown is a galvanometer RG=60 Ω  but converted to an ammeter by a  shunt resistance rs=0.02 Ω?
