A circular coil having N turns and radius r carries a current I. It is held in the XZ plane in a magnetic field B . The torque on the coil due to the magnetic field is :
- A
- BB r2IN
- CZero
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Magnetic dipole moment of the coil
For a circular coil of radius , area is
If the coil has turns and carries current , its magnetic moment is where is normal to the plane of the coil.
- Direction of magnetic moment
The coil is held in the XZ-plane. So its normal is along the -axis. Hence is along .
Given magnetic field is which is along the -axis.
- Angle between and
Since is along and is along , the angle between them is
- Torque on a current loop
Magnitude of torque is
Substituting:
- Match with options
Thus,
This matches Option B.
