Q.
A rigid circular loop of radius r and mass m lies in the x−y plane of a flat table and has a current i flowing in it. At this particular place, the Earth's magnetic field is B→=Bxi^+Bzk^ . The value of i , so that the loop starts tilting, is

Solution:
M→=i(πr2)k^ , B→=Bxi^+Bzk^
To start tilting τduetomass=τmagnetic ∣(mg)r∣=∣∣M→×B→∣∣ (mg)(r)=i(πr2)(Bx) i=πrBxmg
