Consider a 150 turn square loop of wire 17.5 cm on a side that carries a 42 a current in a 1.7 t. a) what is the maximum torque on the loop of wire in n. m? b) what is the magnitude of the torque in n·m when the angle between the field and the normal to the plane of the loop θ is 14°?

(a) 328 Nm

(b) 79.35 Nm

Explanation:

N = =150, side = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m, i = 42 A, B = 1.7 T

A = side^2 = 0.175^2 = 0.030625 m^2

(a) Torque = N x i x A x B x Sinθ

For maximum torque, θ = 90 degree

Torque = 150 x 42 x 0.030625 x 1.7 x Sin 90

Torque = 328 Nm

(b) θ = 14 degree

Torque =  150 x 42 x 0.030625 x 1.7 x Sin 14

Torque = 79.35 Nm

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
