Question:medium
If a thin conducting wire of length \(12m\) carrying a current of \(2\sqrt3 A\) is bent into a regular hexagonal loop and placed in a uniform magnetic field of \(2T\), then the maximum torque acting on the loop is:
If a thin conducting wire of length \(12m\) carrying a current of \(2\sqrt3 A\) is bent into a regular hexagonal loop and placed in a uniform magnetic field of \(2T\), then the maximum torque acting on the loop is:
Show Hint
Remember:
\[
\tau=IAB\sin\theta.
\]
Maximum torque occurs when the magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the loop.

- A particle of charge \( q \) is moving with a velocity \( \vec{v} \) at a distance \( d \) from a long straight wire carrying a current \( I \) as shown in the figure. At this instant, it is subjected to a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) such that the particle keeps moving undeviated. In terms of unit vectors \( \hat{i}, \hat{j}, \) and \( \hat{k} \), find:
the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \),
the magnetic force \( \vec{F}_m \), and
the electric field \( \vec{E} \) acting on the charge.
