Question

A circular coil has moment of inertia 0.8  kgm2 around any diameter and is carrying current to produce a magnetic moment of 20Am2  . The coil is kept initially in a vertical position and it can rotate freely around a horizontal diameter. When a uniform magnetic field of 4 T is applied along the vertical, it starts rotating around its horizontal diameter. The angular speed the coil acquires after rotating by  60° will be:

Moderate
Solution

Applying conservation of energy :

12Iω2=MBcosθf-cosθi                [θi=900, after rotating by 600 , θf=300] 

12×0.8×ω2=20×432

ω=10×31/4 rads-1
