NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentPractice
A square coil of edge I having n turns carries a current i . It is kept on a smooth horizontal plate. A uniform magnetic field B exists in a direction parallel to an edge. The total mass of the coil is m . The minimum value of B for which the coil will start tipping over
Options
- Am g n i l 2
- B2 m g n i l
- Cm g 2 n i l
- Dm g n i l '
Correct answer
C. m g 2 n i l
Step-by-step solution
Deflecting torque = n i A B s i n 90 = n i l 2 B Restoring torque = m g l 2 For tipping n i l 2 B ≥ m g l 2 ⇒ B ≥ m g 2 n i l ∴ B m i n = m g 2 n i l
