A circular coil with cross - sectional area 0.1 cm^(2) is kept in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.2 T. If the current passing in the coil is 3 A and plane of the loop is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field . Calculate (a) total torque on the coil (b) total force on the coil (c ) average force on each electron in the coil due to the magnetic field of the free electron density for the material of the wire is 10^(28) m^(-3) .

Answer»

Solution :Cross sectional area of coil, A = 0.1 `cm^(2)`
A = `0.1 xx 10^(-4) m^(2)`
Uniform magnetic field of strength , B = 0.2 T
CURRENT passing in the coil, I = 3A
angle between the magnetic field and normal to the coil, `theta = 0^(@)`
(a) Total TORQUE on the coil,
`tau` = ABI sin `theta = 0.1 xx 10^(-4) xx 0.2 xx 3 sin 0^(@) sin 0^(@) = 0 `
`tau` = 0
(b) Total force on the coil
F = BIL sin `theta = 0.2 xx 3 xx l xx sin 0^(@)`
Average force:
`F = q V_(d) B)`
Drift velocity , `V_(d) = (I)/("ne A")"" [ because q = e ]`
F = e `((I)/("ne A"))B ""[ because n = 10^(28) m^(-3)]`
= `(IB)/(nA) = (3 xx 0.2)/(10^(28) xx 0.1 xx 10^(-4) ) = 6 xx 10^(-24)`
`F_(av) = 0.6 xx 10^(-23) `N
