A small circular loop of area and resistance is fixed on a horizontal -plane with the center of the loop always on the axis of a long solenoid. The solenoid has turns per unit length and carries current counterclockwise as shown. The magnetic field due to the solenoid is in direction. List-I gives time dependences of in terms of a constant angular frequency . List-II gives the torques experienced by the circular loop at time . Let .
