Chapter 29 Problem 51

Question

A rectangular coil consists of N 5 100 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions a 5 0.400 m and b 5 0.300 m. The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle u 5 30.08 with the x axis (Fig. P29.51). (a) What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field B 5 0.800 T directed in the positive x direction when the current is I 5 1.20 A in the direction shown? (b) What is the expected direction of rotation of the coil?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 51 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A rectangular coil consists of N 5 100 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions a 5 0.400 m and b 5 0.300 m. The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle u 5 30.08 with the x axis (Fig. P29.51). (a) What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field B 5 0.800 T directed in the positive x direction when the current is I 5 1.20 A in the direction shown? (b) What is the expected direction of rotation of the coil?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
