Answer:
0.087976 Nm
Explanation:
The magnetic torque (τ) on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field is given by;
τ = NIAB sinθ --------- (i)
Where;
N = number of turns of the loop
I = current in the loop
A = area of each of the turns
B = magnetic field
θ = angle the loop makes with the magnetic field
From the question;
N = 200
I = 4.0A
B = 0.70T
θ = 30°
A = π d² / 4 [d = diameter of the coil = 2.0cm = 0.02m]
A = π x 0.02² / 4 = 0.0003142m² [taking π = 3.142]
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70 sin30°
τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70 x 0.5
τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70
τ = 0.087976 Nm
Therefore, the torque on the coil is 0.087976 Nm
