When a current of 10 mA is passed through a tangent galvanometer,...
When a current of 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 and the coil's radius is .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The formula for a tangent galvanometer is given by:
The magnetic field at the center of the coil is:
Equating the two expressions for :
Rearranging to solve for the number of turns :
Substituting the given values , , \theta = 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, , and :
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}}
Using :
The closest integer value among the given options is .
