 Solution

The magnetic dipole moment is $\mathbf{\mu }=IA\hat{\mathbf{n}}$ and its magnetic torque is ${\mathbf{\tau }}_{\mathrm{mag}}=\mathbf{\mu }\times \mathbf{B}$. Its component along the rotation axis opposes the imposed rotation. For positive $\omega$, the external driving torque needed to keep the angular velocity constant isAveraging over a complete rotation, with $⟨{\sin }^2\omega t⟩=1/2$, givesAs an independent sign and dimension check, $\omega ⟨{\tau }_{\mathrm{drive}}⟩=R⟨I^2⟩$. Thus the mechanical input power equals the mean Joule heating; a passive loop cannot supply a sustained driving torque. This average assumes the same negligible-self-inductance approximation as the current expression.
