Induced Torque on a Triangular Loop

Mark
< Prev
Next >

A triangular conducting loop with vertices at (0,0), (L,0), and (0,L) is positioned in the xy-plane. A uniform magnetic field BB, directed in the +z+z direction, is confined to the first quadrant (x>0,y>0x>0, y>0). If the magnitude of the magnetic field increases at a rate of dB/dtdB/dt, which of the following describes the resulting rotational motion of the loop?

A

No motion; forces cancel due to symmetry

B

Clockwise rotation about the origin

C

Translation along the x-axis

D

Counterclockwise rotation about the origin
