AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\) is suspended from a vertex such that it hangs in a vertical plane between the poles of a permanent magnet producing a horizontal magnetic field of \(100 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T}\). The magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the coil. For the moment of couple acting on the coil to be \(2 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{Nm}\), the current to be passed through the coil is

  1. A 0.5 A
  2. B 1 A
  3. C 2 A
  4. D 4 A

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, magnetic field, \(B=100 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T}\) Torque, \(\tau=2 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{Nm}\) Now, torque \(\tau=M B=I A B\) where, \(M=\) magnetic dipole moment, \(B=\) magnetic field \(I=\) current to be passed through the coil. Putting the given values in…
