Chapter 19 Problem 19.23

Question

An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm (Fig. P19.23). The coil lies in the plane of the page and has a 6.00-A current owing clockwise aroundit. If the coil is in a uniform magnetic eld of 2.00 104 T directed toward the left of the page, what is the magnitude of the torque on the coil? [Hint: The area of an ellipse is A ab, where a and b are, respectively, the semimajor and semiminor axes of the ellipse.]

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 19 problem number 23 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm (Fig. P19.23). The coil lies in the plane of the page and has a 6.00-A current owing clockwise aroundit. If the coil is in a uniform magnetic eld of 2.00 104 T directed toward the left of the page, what is the magnitude of the torque on the coil? [Hint: The area of an ellipse is A ab, where a and b are, respectively, the semimajor and semiminor axes of the ellipse.]
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
