A rectangular coil of wire, 22.0 cm by 35.0 cm and carrying a current of 1.95 A, is oriented with the plane of its loop perpendicular to a uniform 1.50-T magnetic field (Fig. E27.42). (a) Calculate the net force and torque that the magnetic field exerts on the coil. (b) The coil is rotated through a 30.0° angle about the axis shown, with the left side coming out of the plane of the figure and the right side going into the plane. Calculate the net force and torque that the magnetic field now exerts on the coil. (Hint: To visualize this three-dimensional problem, make a careful drawing of the coil as viewed along the rotation axis.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the net force and torque that the magnetic field exerts on the coil F=0

(b) the net force and torque that the magnetic field now exerts on the coil F=0 .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of torque

It measures of force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.

a=35.0cm

b=22.0cm

I=1.95A

B=1.50T

02

Step 2:

(a)for the net force and torque that the magnetic field exerts on the coil.

Force acting both right and left side has same magnitude but in opposite direction. also, force acting on upper and lower side have same magnitude in opposite direction. Force produces no torque and net force acting is also zero. Force on each side points at same direction of position vector.ϕ=0°,sin(ϕ)=0 thus,

F=0 andτ=0

Thus, the net force and torque that the magnetic field exerts on the coil F=0

03

Step 3: 

(b)for the net force and torque that the magnetic field now exerts on the coil.

The coil is rotated at ϕ=30.0°about axis. The force in upper and lower side has same magnitude in opposite direction which cancel each other.so net force is zero but as torque is there because angle between force on each side position vector is ,

ϕ=30.0°

T=IBAsin(ϕ)A=ab,T=(1.95A)(1.50T)(0.220m)(0.350m)sin(30.0)T=0.113N×m

Thus, the net force and torque that the magnetic field now exerts on the coil F=0 .

τ=0.113N.m

Most popular questions from this chapter

An idealized ammeter is connected to a battery as shown in Fig.

E25.28. Find (a) the reading of the ammeter, (b) the current through the4.00Ω

resistor, (c) the terminal voltage of the battery.

Fig. E25.28.

An emf source with E = 120 V, a resistor with R = 80.0 Ω, and a capacitor with C = 4.00 µF are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor?

(a) At room temperature, what is the strength of the electric field in a

12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05mm) that is needed to cause a 4.50-A

current to flow? (b) What field would be needed if the wire were made of silver

instead?

(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter

2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has8.5×108free electrons per

cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each

second? (b) What is the current density in the wire? (c) At what speed does

a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (d) If you were to use

wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change?

Would they increase or decrease?
