A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass m and radius r and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field B0, as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity g, on two conducting supports at P and Q. When a current I is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line PQ by an angle θ given by
1
tan θ = πrIB0/(mg)
2
tan θ = 2πrIB0/(mg)
3
tan θ = πrIB0/(2mg)
4
tan θ = mg/(πrIB0)
