A small circular loop of area A and resistance R is fixed on a horizontal xy-plane with the center of the loop always on the axis n^ of a long solenoid. The solenoid has m turns per unit length and carries current I counter clockwise as shown in the figure. The magnetic field due to the solenoid is in n^ direction. List-I gives time dependences of n^ in terms of a constant angular frequency ω. List-II gives the torques experienced by the circular loop at time t=π6ω, Let α=A2μ02m2I2ω2R.

Solution

Note: This question was given bonus by JEE council.

The magnetic field in a solenoid is given by, B=μ0mIn^. Therefore, the flux through the loop will be,

ϕ=Ak^·μ0mIn^

For case I:

ϕ=BA2cosωt

The emf will be,

ε=BAω2sinωt

Therefore, the current in the loop will be,

i=BAω2Rsinωt

The magnetic moment of the loop will be,

m=iAk^=BA2ω2Rsinωtk^

Therefore, the torque

τ=m×B=B2A2ω2Rsinωtk^×n^

τ=-B2A2ω2Ri^sin2ωt

τ=-B2A2ω2Rsin2π6=-α4i^

Hence, Iq

For case II

ϕ=0

Therefore, we can directly write τ=0

Hence IIp

Following the same process as in case I for case III

ϕ=BA2cosωt

i=BAω2Rsinωt

m=BA2ω2Rsinωtk^

τ=m×B=B2A2ω2×2Rsinωtk^×sinωti^+cosωtk^

τ=B2A2ωsinωt2Rsinωtj^

τ=B2A2ω2Rsin2ωtj^

τ=α4j^

Hence, IIIs

Following the same process as in case I for case IV

ϕ=BA2sinωt

i=-BAω2Rcosωt

m=-BA2ω2Rcosωtk^

τ=m×B=-B2A2ω2Rk^×j^cos2ωt

τ=+B2A2ω2Ri^·cos2π6

τ=+34αi^

Hence, IVr
