Chapter 21 Problem 42

Question

Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic fi eld as in Figure 21.19. Coil 1 has a radius of 5.0 cm and rotates in a 0.18-T fi eld. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.42-T fi eld. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic fi eld as in Figure 21.19. Coil 1 has a radius of 5.0 cm and rotates in a 0.18-T fi eld. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.42-T fi eld. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Forces and Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
