Correct answer: B

  1. Magnetic dipole moment of the coil

For a circular coil of radius rrr, area is A=πr2A = \pi r^2A=πr2

If the coil has NNN turns and carries current III, its magnetic moment is m⃗=NIA n^=NIπr2 n^\vec m = N I A \, \hat n = N I \pi r^2 \, \hat nm=NIAn^=NIπr2n^ where n^\hat nn^ is normal to the plane of the coil.

  1. Direction of magnetic moment

The coil is held in the XZ-plane. So its normal is along the YYY-axis. Hence m⃗\vec mm is along ±j^\pm \hat j±j^​.

Given magnetic field is B⃗=Bi^\vec B = B\hat iB=Bi^ which is along the XXX-axis.

  1. Angle between m⃗\vec mm and B⃗\vec BB

Since m⃗\vec mm is along j^\hat jj^​ and B⃗\vec BB is along i^\hat ii^, the angle between them is θ=90∘\theta = 90^\circθ=90∘

  1. Torque on a current loop

Magnitude of torque is τ=mBsin⁡θ\tau = mB\sin\thetaτ=mBsinθ

Substituting: τ=(NIπr2)Bsin⁡90∘\tau = (N I \pi r^2)B\sin 90^\circτ=(NIπr2)Bsin90∘ τ=NIπr2B\tau = N I \pi r^2 Bτ=NIπr2B

  1. Match with options

Thus, τ=Bπr2IN\boxed{\tau = B\pi r^2 I N}τ=Bπr2IN​

This matches Option B.
