An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
If the loop is in equilibrium for y=34 a, the corresponding current in the loop is 2MgaB0
b
If the loop is in equilibrium for y=34 a, the corresponding current in the loop is MgaB0
c
If the loop is displaced slightly from it's equilibrium position y=34a in it's plane perpendicular to side AB and released, the time period of it's oscillation is 2π3a4g
d
If the loop is displaced slightly from it's equilibrium position y=34a in it's plane perpendicular to side AB and released, the time period of it's oscillation is 2π3a2g
answer is A.
