A square coil of side 0.1 m, with 50 turns, carries 1 A in a 0.2 T field. The maximum torque on the coil is
A0.05 N·m
B0.02 N·m
C0.1 N·m
D1.0 N·m
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 0.1 N·m
1. Magnetic moment m = NIA.
2. Area A = (0.1)² = 0.01 m²; m = 50 × 1 × 0.01 = 0.5 A·m².
3. Maximum torque τ_max = mB (when m is perpendicular to B).
4. τ_max = 0.5 × 0.2 = 0.1 N·m.
