A 49.5-turn circular coil of radius 5.10 cm can be oriented in any direction in a uniform magnetic field having a magnitude of 0.535 T. If the coil carries a current of 26.5 mA, find the magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil.

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the circular coil, N = 49.5 turns

radius of the coil, r = 5.10 cm = 0.051 m

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.535 T

current in the coil, I = 26.5 mA = 0.0265 A

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is calculated as;

τ = NIAB

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr² = π(0.051)² = 0.00817 m²

Substitute the given values and solve for the maximum torque

τ = (49.5) x (0.0265) x (0.00817) x (0.535)

τ = 0.00573 Nm

τ = 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
