A circular coil of 200200 turns and radius 0.1 m0.1 \text{ m} is rotated at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad s−110 \text{ rad s}^{-1} in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T0.5 \text{ T}. If the electrical resistance of the coil is 10 Ω10 \ \Omega, what is the maximum external torque required to maintain this constant rotation?

Options

  1. A10π N m10\pi \text{ N m}
  2. Bπ2 N m\pi^2 \text{ N m}
  3. C0.5π2 N m0.5\pi^2 \text{ N m}
  4. D0.005π2 N m0.005\pi^2 \text{ N m}

Correct answer

B. π2 N m\pi^2 \text{ N m}

Step-by-step solution

The area of the circular coil is A=πr2=π(0.1)2=0.01π m2A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.1)^2 = 0.01\pi \text{ m}^2.

The maximum induced EMF is εmax=NABω\varepsilon_{\text{max}} = NAB\omega.
εmax=200×0.01π×0.5×10=10π V\varepsilon_{\text{max}} = 200 \times 0.01\pi \times 0.5 \times 10 = 10\pi \text{ V}.

The maximum induced current in the coil is Imax=εmaxR=10π10=π AI_{\text{max}} = \dfrac{\varepsilon_{\text{max}}}{R} = \dfrac{10\pi}{10} = \pi \text{ A}.

To maintain constant rotation, the external torque must balance the opposing magnetic torque. The magnetic torque on the coil is τ=MBsin⁡θ=(NIA)Bsin⁡θ\tau = MB\sin\theta = (NIA)B\sin\theta.

The maximum magnetic torque occurs when the current is maximum and sin⁡θ=1\sin\theta = 1:
τmax=NImaxAB\tau_{\text{max}} = N I_{\text{max}} A B
τmax=200×π×0.01π×0.5=π2 N m\tau_{\text{max}} = 200 \times \pi \times 0.01\pi \times 0.5 = \pi^2 \text{ N m}.

Answer: π2 N m\pi^2 \text{ N m}
