Two current carrying loops of wire are placed as shown in the figure, the inner loop \((P)\) having a radius \((r)\) which is much smaller than the radius \((R)\) of the outer loop \((Q)\). Both the loops are concentric, but the currents in one case are in the same sense while in the other, in the opposite sense.
In both cases, the torque on \(P\) due to \(Q\) is zero. If \(P\) is slightly rotated about a diameter, then, it will return to its initial position in:
1.
case (I) but not in case (II).
2.
case (II) but not in case (I).
3.
both cases (I) and (II).
4.
neither of cases (I) and (II).

A magnetized wire of magnetic moment \(M\) and length \(L\) is bent in the form of the semi-circle of radius \(r\). The new magnetic moment is:
1. \(M\)
2. \(M / 2 \pi\)
3. \(M / \pi\)
4. \(2M / \pi\)
