Given that,
Area A=200 cm2
Current I=5.0 A
Magnetic fieldB=0.20 T
For Loop ABCD
Let AB = 10 cm = CD and BC = DA = 20cm
(a). magnetic moment
M=IA
M=5×200×10−4
M=1000×10−4
M=0.1
Now, force of AB
FAB=I(−−→AB×→B)
FAB=5×0.1×0.2
FAB=0.1N
Now, force of CD
FCD=−I(−−→CD×→B)
FCD=−5×0.1×0.2
FCD=−0.1N
Now, force of BC
FBC=I(−−→BC×→B)
FBC=0
Similarly
FDA=0
Now, the force acting on the loop
Floop=0.1−0.1+0+0
Floop=0
(b).The torque on the loop
τ=→M×→B
τ=0.1×0.2
τ=0.02Nm
Hence, the force on loop is 0 and the torque on the loop is 0.02 Nm
