JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
A circular coil has moment of inertia 0.8 kg m2 around any diameter and is carrying current to produce a magnetic moment of 20 Am2 . The coil is kept initially in a vertical position and it can rotate freely around a horizontal diameter. When a uniform magnetic field of 4 T is applied along the vertical,it starts rotating around its horizontal diameter. The angular speed the coil acquires after rotating by 60o will be:
- A10 rad s–1
- B20 rad s–1
- Crad s–1
- D20 rad s–1

Correct answer: C
- Given data
- Moment of inertia about the horizontal diameter:
- Magnetic moment of coil:
- Magnetic field:
- Initial rotation from vertical position through:
- Magnetic potential energy
For a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field, where is the angle between magnetic moment and magnetic field .
Since the coil is initially in a vertical plane, its magnetic moment is horizontal. The field is applied vertically.
So initially, Hence,
After rotating by about the horizontal diameter, the normal to the coil (and hence magnetic moment) makes angle with the vertical field.
Thus,
- Use conservation of energy
The decrease in magnetic potential energy becomes rotational kinetic energy:
So,
Substitute values:
Therefore,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is C.
