Applications involving charged particles moving in a magnetic field
Question

A rectangular coil of area 2.5cm x 1.5cm has 100 turns. When a current of 2mA is passed through it, the deflection is 300. The couple per unit twist of the suspended wire is 1.44×10-4Nmrad-1 the magnetic induction is nearly……………..T.

Moderate
Solution

During equilibrium, torsional torque is balanced by magnetic torque,  Cθ=BiAN B=CθiNA=1.44×10-4×π62×10-3×100×(2.5×1.5×10-4)=1.005T
