COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current

A circular coil of radius \(r = 10\,cm\) having 300 turns carries a current of 2A. The coil is suspended vertically in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.7 T. If the plane of the coil makes an angle \(30^\circ\) with the magnetic field, the torque needed to prevent it from turning is:

  1. A \(1.1\) Nm
  2. B \(22.84\) Nm
  3. C \(5.71\) Nm
  4. D \(11.42\) Nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(11.42\) Nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: Number of turns, \(N = 300\) Current, \(I = 2 \text{ A}\) Radius, \(r = 10 \text{ cm} = 0.1 \text{ m}\) Magnetic field, \(B = 0.7 \text{ T}\) The angle between the plane of the coil and the magnetic field is \(30^\circ\). The angle between the area vector (normal to the…
