Understanding +4 | -1

Statement I: A flexible wire loop of irregular shape carrying current when placed in a uniform external magnetic field acquires circular shape.

Statement II: Any current carrying loop when placed in external magnetic field tries to acquires minimum energy and hence maximum magnetic flux and for a given perimeter circular shape is having greatest area.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is
the correct explanation for Statement I

Option A is correct because a current loop in a magnetic field tries to minimize energy by maximizing flux, leading to a circular shape for maximum area.
