A circular coil of wire 8.6 cm in diameter has 15 turns and carries a current of 2.7 A. The coil is in a region where the magnetic field is 0.56 T. (a) What orientation of the coil gives the maximum torque on the coil, and what is this maximum torque? (b) For what orientation of the coil is the magnitude of the torque 71% of the maximum found in part (a)?

(a) (i) The orientation of the coil which gives maximum torque on the coil is 90⁰

(a)(ii) The maximum torque is 0.132 Nm

(b) The orientation of the coil is 45⁰

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the circular wire, d = 8.6 cm = 0.086 m

radius of the wire, r = d /2 = 0.043 m

number of turns, N = 15 turns

magnetic field, B = 0.56 T

The torque on the wire is given by;

τ = NIABsinθ

where;

θ is the orientation of the wire

(a) maximum torque occurs when the orientation of the wire is at 90⁰

The maximum torque is given by;

τ = NIABsin(90⁰)

τ = NIAB

τ = (15)(2.7)(π x 0.043²)(0.56)

τ = 0.132 Nm

(b)

71% of 0.132 = 0.71 x 0.132 = 0.0937 Nm

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
