Induced Torque on a Triangular Loop
< Prev
Next >

A triangular conducting loop with vertices at (0,0), (L,0), and (0,L) lies in the xy-plane. A uniform magnetic field $$B$$ exists only in the region $$x>0, y>0$$ (the first quadrant), pointing in the $$+z$$ direction. If the field strength is increasing at rate $$dB/dt$$, what is the resulting rotational motion of the loop?

A

Counterclockwise rotation about the origin

B

Clockwise rotation about the origin

C

Translation along the x-axis

D

No motion; forces cancel due to symmetry
