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) |
