Question

What is the maximum torque on a 150-turn square loop of wire 18.0 cm on a side that carries a 50.9 A current in a 1.60 T field

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum torque on the loop is 395.80 N.m.

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the wire, N = 150 turns

length of the square loop, L = 18.0 cm = 0.18 m

current in the wire, I = 50.9 A

Magnetic field, B = 1.6 T

Maximum torque on the loop is given by;

τ = NIAB

τ = (150)(50.9)(0.18²)(1.6)

τ = 395.80 N.m

Therefore, the maximum torque on the loop is 395.80 N.m.
