A 132 cm wire carries a current of 2.2 A. The wire is formed into a circular coil and placed in a B Field of intensity 1 T. a) Find the maximum torque that can act on the loop. Tries 0/6 b) How many turns must the coil have so that the torque is maximized

Given Information:

Length of wire = 132 cm = 1.32 m

Magnetic field = B =  1 T

Current = 2.2 A

Required Information:

(a) Torque = τ = ?

(b) Number of turns = N = ?

(a) Torque = 0.305 N.m

(b) Number of turns = 1

Explanation:

(a) The current carrying circular loop of wire will experience a torque given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)   eq. 1

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current in circular loop, A is the area of circular loop, B is the magnetic field and θ is angle between B and circular loop.

We know that area of circular loop is given by

A = πr²

where radius can be written as

r = L/2πN

So the area becomes

A = π(L/2πN)²

A = πL²/4π²N²

A = L²/4πN²

Substitute A into eq. 1

τ = NI(L²/4πN²)Bsin(θ)

τ = IL²Bsin(θ)/4πN

The maximum toque occurs when θ is 90°

τ = IL²Bsin(90)/4πN

τ = IL²B/4πN

torque will be maximum for N = 1

τ = (2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*1

τ = 0.305 N.m

(b) The required number of turns for maximum torque is

N = IL²B/4πτ

N = 2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*0.305

N = 1 turn

the one with the highest speed

the results is a decrease in air temperature with an increase of altitude.
