Question

A 1 turn coil carries has a radius of 9.8 cm and a magnetic moment of 6.2 X 10 -2 Am 2. What is the current through the coil?

Answer 1

Answer:

The current through the coil is 2.05 A

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, N = 1

radius of the coil, r = 9.8 cm = 0.098 m

magnetic moment of the coil, P = 6.2 x 10⁻² A m²

The magnetic moment is given by;

P = IA

Where;

I is the current through the coil

A is area of the coil = πr² = π(0.098)² = 0.03018 m²

The current through the coil is given by;

I = P / A

I = (6.2 x 10⁻² ) / (0.03018)

I = 2.05 A

Therefore, the current through the coil is 2.05 A
