Question

A circular wire loop of radius 15.0 cm carries a current of 2.60

Answer 1

Part (a): Magnetic dipole moment

Magnetic dipole moment = IA, I = Current, A = Area of the loop
Then,
Magnetic dipole moment = 2.6*π*0.15^2 = 0.184 Am^2

Part (b): Torque acting on the loop
T = IAB SinФ, where B = Magnetic field, Ф = Angle
Then,
T = Magnetic dipole moment*B*SinФ = 0.184*12*Sin 41 = 1.447 Nm
