Question

What is the maximum torque on a 15 What is the maximum torque on a 150-turn square loop of wire 18.0 cm on a side that carries a 50.0-A current in a 1.60-T field?

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum torque is 388.8 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 150

Area = 18.0 cm

Current = 50.0 A

Magnetic field = 1.60 T

We need to calculate the maximum torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=NIAB\sin\theta$

For maximum value of torque

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=150\times50\times(0.18)^2\times1.60\times1$

$\tau=388.8\ N-m$

Hence, The maximum torque is 388.8 N-m.
