The maximum torque acting on a coil having an effective area \( 0.04 \text{ m}^2 \) and carrying current of \( 100 \mu A \) is \( 4 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m} \), when placed in a magnetic field. The magnitude of the magnetic field is

  1. A \( 1.10^{-1} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)
  2. B \( 2.10^{-2} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)
  3. C \( 3.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)
  4. D \( 4.2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 2.10^{-2} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \tau_{max} = BIA \) \( B = \frac{\tau_{max}}{IA} \) \( B = \frac{4 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m}}{(100 \times 10^{-6} \text{ A})(0.04 \text{ m}^2)} \) \( B = \frac{4 \times 10^{-8}}{4 \times 10^{-6}} \) \( B = 1 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} \)
