question 75

Multiple Choice

A flat rectangular loop of wire is placed between the poles of a magnet,as shown in the figure.It has dimensions w = 0.60 m and L = 1.0 m,and carries a current I = 2.0 A in the direction shown.The $\vec { B }$ field due to the magnet is uniform and of magnitude 0.80 T.The loop rotates in the magnetic field and at one point the plane of the loop makes a 30° angle with the $\vec { B }$ field vector.At that instant,what is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the wire by the magnetic field?

• A)0.30 N ∙ m
• B)0.40 N ∙ m
• C)0.48 N ∙ m
• D)0.83 N ∙ m
• E)0.96 N ∙ m
