# A rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length l joined together by rod of length d. The wires are each of the same material but with cross - section differing by a factor of 2. The thicker wire has a resistance R and the rods of low resistance , Which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source $V_0$ the loop is placed in uniform magnetic field B at 45 to its plane . Find the $T$ the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centers of rods.

$\begin{array}{1 1} \large\frac{V_0ld}{4 \sqrt 2 R} \\ \large\frac{V_0lB}{4 \sqrt 2 R} \\ \large\frac{V_0lAB}{ \sqrt 2 R} \\ \large\frac{V_0l AB}{4 \sqrt 2 R} \end{array}$

Solution :
Force on axis AB due to magnetic field , $F_1= I_1 l B= \large\frac{V_0}{R_1} $$lB \qquad= \large\frac{V_0}{2R}$$lB$
It is acting perpendicular to the arm AB towards observe .
Torque due to force $F_1$ about axis $EF$
$T_1= F_1 \times \large\frac{d}{2}$$\sin 45^{\circ} \quad= \large\frac{V_0}{2R}$$lB \times \large\frac{d}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$
$\quad= \large\frac{V_0 l B d}{4 \sqrt 2 R}$
(in the anticlock direction )
Next the force on arm DC due to magnetic field,
$F_2= I_2 lB$
$\quad= \large\frac{V_0}{R_2} $$lB \quad= \large\frac{V_0}{R}$$lB$
This perpendicular to arm DC towards observe
Torque due to force $F_2$ about axis $EF$ is
$T_2 = F_2 \times \large\frac{d}{2}$$\sin 45^{\circ} \qquad= \bigg( \large\frac{V_0}{r} lB\bigg) \large\frac{d}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt 2} \qquad= \large\frac{V_0 l Bd}{2 \sqrt 2 R} (in the clock wise direction) Net torque T= T_2-T_1 (in the clock wise direction ) \quad= \large\frac{V_0 l Bd}{2 \sqrt 2 R}$$\bigg[ 1-\large\frac{1}{2}\bigg]$
$\quad= \large\frac{V_0 l Bd}{4 \sqrt 2 R}$
But $l \times d=A$
$T=\large\frac{V_0l AB}{4 \sqrt 2 R}$
Answer : $\large\frac{V_0l AB}{4 \sqrt 2 R}$
