A non - conducting sphere has mass of100 gand radius 20 cm . Aflat compact coil of wire with turns 5 iswrapped tightly around it with each turns concentric with the sphere. This sphere is placed on an inclined plane such that plane of coil is parallel to the inclined plane. A uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T exists in the region in vertically upwards direction. Compute the current I required to rest the sphere in equilibrium.(##SUR_PHY_XII_V01_C03_E04_005_Q01##)

Answer»

Solution :The sphere is in translational equilibrium , thus`f_(s)- mgsin theta ` = 0 ….(1)
The sphere is in rotational equilibrium . If torques are taken about the centre of the sphere, the magnetic field produces a clockwise torque of magnitude
i.e`tau = mBsinq [mu = NIA]`
The frictional force `(f_(s))` produces a anticlockwise torque of magnitude `tau = f_(s)R`, where R is theradius of the sphere. Thus
` f_(s) R - mB SIN theta = 0 ` .....(2)
From (1) and (2)[i.e `f_(s)= mgsin theta ` substituting in (2)]mg `sin theta. R - mu B sin theta mgR= mu B `
Substituting ` mu `
mgR = NIAB
` I = "mgR"/"NBA" ` [where A is the area of the sphere ` A = pi R^(2) ` ]
` :.I = "mg"/(pi"RBN")`
Given :
mass of thesphere` mu= 100 g = 100xx 10^(-3) kg `
Radius of the sphere` R = 20 cm= 20XX 10 ^(-2) m `
No. of turns of wire wrapped` N = 5`
Magnetic field ` B = 0.5 ` T
Current required to rest the sphere in equilibrium` I = ? `
`I = (100 xx 10^(-3) xx cancel10^(2))/(pi xx cancel5 xx 20 xx 10^(-2) xx 0.5) `
` I = 2/pi A `
