AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

Torques \(\tau_1\) and \(\tau_2\) are required for a magnetic needle to remain perpendicular to the magnetic fields of \(B_1\) and \(B_2\) at two different places. The ratio of \(B_1: B_2\) is equal to

  1. A \(\tau_2: \tau_1\)
  2. B \(\tau_1: \tau_2\)
  3. C \(\frac{\tau_1+\tau_2}{\tau_1-\tau_2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\tau_1-\tau_2}{\tau_1+\tau_2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\tau_1: \tau_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that torques \(\tau_1\) and \(\tau_2\) are required for a magnetic needle to remain perpendicular to the magnetic field \(B_1\) and \(B_2\). We know that, torque acting on a magnet in uniform magnetic field. \[ \therefore \quad \tau=M B \sin \theta \] where,…
