2. A coil of radius R carries current I. Another concentric coil of radius (r <<R) carries current i.
Planes of two coils are mutually perpendicular and both the coils are free to rotate about common
diameter. Find maximum kinetic energy of smaller coil when both the coils are released, masses of
coils are M and m respectively.
Solution: If a magnetic dipole having moment M be rotated through angle from equilib-
rium position in a uniform magnetic field B, work done on it is W MB (1 cos ) .
This work is stored in the system in the form of energy. When system is release,
dipole starts to rotate to occupy equilibrium position and teh energy converts into
kinetic energy and kinetic energy of the system is maximum when stored energy is
completely released.

Since, two coils rotate due to their mutual interaction only, therefore, if one coil rotates clockwise
then the other rotates anticlockwise.
Let angular velocities of larger and smaller coils be numerically equal to 1 and 2 respectively

height of 0.01 m over another parallel long wire CD which is
fixed in a horizontal plane and carries a steady current of 30 A,
as shown in figure. Show that when AB is slightly depressed, it
executes simple harmonic motion. Find the period of oscilla-
tion.
