Chapter 20 Problem 54

Question

(II) A circular coil 12.0 cm in diameter and containing nine loops lies flat on the ground. The Earth's magnetic field at this location has magnitude \(5.50 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\) and points into the Earth at an angle of \(56.0^{\circ}\) below a line pointing due north. If a 7.20-A clockwise current passes through the coil, (a) determine the torque on the coil, and (b) which edge of the coil rises up: north, east, south, or west?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 54 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (II) A circular coil 12.0 cm in diameter and containing nine loops lies flat on the ground. The Earth's magnetic field at this location has magnitude \(5.50 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\) and points into the Earth at an angle of \(56.0^{\circ}\) below a line pointing due north. If a 7.20-A clockwise current passes through the coil, (a) determine the torque on the coil, and (b) which edge of the coil rises up: north, east, south, or west?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
