A rectangular coil of sides 'l' and 'b' carrying a current I is subjected to a uniform magnetic field vecB, acting perpendicular to its plane. Obtain the expression for the torque acting on it.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Equivalent magnetic MOMENT of the coil,
`vecm = Iahatn`
`thereforevecm = I_(l)bvecn`
`(I_(l)bvecn` = unit vector `BOT` to the plane of the coil)
`therefore` TORQUE ` = vecm xx vecB`
` = I_(l)bvecn xx vecB`
=0
(as `I_(l)bvecn and vecB` are PARALLEL or antiparallel other)
