When a current of 10 mA is passed through a tangent galvanometer,...

When a current of 10 mA10 \text{ mA} is passed through a tangent galvanometer, it exhibits a deflection of 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}. Determine the number of turns in the coil, given that the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is BH=3.6×10−5 TB_H = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} and the coil's radius is 10 cm10 \text{ cm}.

Options

  1. A57005700
  2. B285285
  3. C11401140
  4. D570570

Correct answer

D. 570570

Step-by-step solution

The formula for a tangent galvanometer is given by:

B=BHtan⁡θB = B_H \tan \theta

The magnetic field at the center of the coil is:

B=μ0NI2RB = \dfrac{\mu_0 N I}{2 R}

Equating the two expressions for BB:

μ0NI2R=BHtan⁡θ\dfrac{\mu_0 N I}{2 R} = B_H \tan \theta

Rearranging to solve for the number of turns NN:

N=2RBHtan⁡θμ0IN = \dfrac{2 R B_H \tan \theta}{\mu_0 I}

Substituting the given values R=0.1 mR = 0.1 \text{ m}, BH=3.6×10−5 TB_H = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}, \theta = 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, μ0=4π×10−7 T⋅m/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A}, and I=10×10−3 AI = 10 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}:

N = \dfrac{2 \times 0.1 \times 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \times \tan 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 10 \times 10^{-3}}

N=0.72×10−54π×10−9N = \dfrac{0.72 \times 10^{-5}}{4\pi \times 10^{-9}}

N=72004π=1800πN = \dfrac{7200}{4\pi} = \dfrac{1800}{\pi}

Using π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14:

N≈18003.14≈573N \approx \dfrac{1800}{3.14} \approx 573

The closest integer value among the given options is 570570.
