Q.

A compass needle free to turn in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of a circular coil of 30 turns and radius 12 cm. The coil is in a vertical plane making an angle of 45°with the magnetic meridian when the current in the coil is 0.35 A, the needle points magnetic west to east. Determine the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at the location.

Question Image

Here,n=30,r=12 cm=12×10-2 m.i=0.35 A,H=?

As it is clear from figure shown the needle can point west to east only when H=Bsin45°

where, B= magnetic field strength due to current in coil =μ04π2πnirH=μ04π2πnirsin45°

 =10-7×2π×30×0.3512×10-2·12

=2×227×30×3512×2×10-7=3.9×10-5 tesla
