Answer:

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 2.0 cm carries a current of 4.0 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.70 T with the plane of the coil making an angle of 30° with the magnetic field. What is the magnetic torque on the coil?

Magnetic torque on the coil = 0.08796 N.m

Explanation:

Given:

A circular coil with N turns and I current along with its diameter d which makes an angle (\theta) .

Number of turns of the coil, N = 200

External magnetic field, B = 0.7 T

Current in the circular coil, I = 4 A

Diameter of the coil, d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Angle between the coil and B , [tex](\theta)[/tex] = 30°

Formula to be used:

Magnetic torque in a circular coil:

⇒  [tex]\tau = NIABsin(\theta)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]\tau = NIB(\frac{\pi d^2}{4})sin(\theta)[/tex]                      ...Area of cross section = πd^2/4

Plugging the values.

[tex]\tau = 200\times 4\times 0.7\times \frac{\pi (0.02)^2}{4}\times sin(30)[/tex]

[tex]\tau = 200\times 4\times 0.7\times \frac{\pi (0.02)^2}{4}\times 0.5[/tex]   ...sin(30)=0.5

[tex]\tau = 0.08796\ N.m[/tex]

So,

The magnetic torque on the coil = 0.08796 N.m
