Answer:
(a) (i) The orientation of the coil which gives maximum torque on the coil is 90⁰
(a)(ii) The maximum torque is 0.132 Nm
(b) The orientation of the coil is 45⁰
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the circular wire, d = 8.6 cm = 0.086 m
radius of the wire, r = d /2 = 0.043 m
number of turns, N = 15 turns
magnetic field, B = 0.56 T
The torque on the wire is given by;
τ = NIABsinθ
where;
θ is the orientation of the wire
(a) maximum torque occurs when the orientation of the wire is at 90⁰
The maximum torque is given by;
τ = NIABsin(90⁰)
τ = NIAB
τ = (15)(2.7)(π x 0.043²)(0.56)
τ = 0.132 Nm
(b)
71% of 0.132 = 0.71 x 0.132 = 0.0937 Nm
[tex]\tau = NIAB sin\theta\\\\sin\theta = \frac{\tau}{NIAB }\\\\ sin\theta = \frac{0.0937}{(15)(2.7)(\pi *0.043^2)(0.56)} \\\\sin\theta = 0.7111\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}(0.7111)\\\\\theta =45.32\\\\\theta = 45^0[/tex]
