A circular coil with a radius of 2.0 cm2.0 \text{ cm} consists of 500500 turns and carries a current of 1.0 A1.0 \text{ A}. The axis of the coil forms an angle of 30^{}^{{}^{\circ}} with a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T0.40 \text{ T} present in the region. Determine the torque acting on the coil.

Options

  1. A0.50 N m0.50 \text{ N m}
  2. B0.25 N m0.25 \text{ N m}
  3. C0.22 N m0.22 \text{ N m}
  4. D0.13 N m0.13 \text{ N m}

Correct answer

D. 0.13 N m0.13 \text{ N m}

Step-by-step solution

Given:
Radius of the coil, r=2.0 cm=0.02 mr = 2.0 \text{ cm} = 0.02 \text{ m}
Number of turns, N=500N = 500
Current, I=1.0 AI = 1.0 \text{ A}
Magnetic field, B=0.40 TB = 0.40 \text{ T}
Angle between the axis of the coil and the magnetic field, \theta = 30^{}^{{}^{\circ}}

The magnetic moment of the coil is given by:
M=NIA=NI(πr2)M = N I A = N I (\pi r^2)

Substituting the values:
M=500×1.0×π×(0.02)2=500×0.0004π=0.2π A m2M = 500 \times 1.0 \times \pi \times (0.02)^2 = 500 \times 0.0004 \pi = 0.2 \pi \text{ A m}^2

The torque acting on the coil is:
τ=MBsin⁡θ\tau = M B \sin\theta

Substituting the values:
\tau = 0.2 \pi \times 0.40 \times \sin 30^{}^{{}^{\circ}}
τ=0.08π×0.5\tau = 0.08 \pi \times 0.5
τ=0.04π N m\tau = 0.04 \pi \text{ N m}

Using π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14:
τ≈0.04×3.14=0.1256 N m≈0.13 N m\tau \approx 0.04 \times 3.14 = 0.1256 \text{ N m} \approx 0.13 \text{ N m}
