A circular coil of 185 turns has a radius of 1.60 cm. (a) Calculate the current that results in a magnetic dipole moment of magnitude 1.79 A·m2. (b) Find the maximum magnitude of the torque that the coil, carrying this current, can experience in a uniform 47.7 mT magnetic field.

Given Information:

Number of turns = N = 185 turns

Radius of circular coil = r = 1.60 cm = 0.0160 m

Magnetic field = B =  47.7 mT

Magnetic dipole moment = µ =1.79 A.m

Required Information:

(a) Current = I = ?

(b) Maximum Torque = τ = ?

(a) Current = 12.03 A

(b) Maximum Torque = 0.0853 N.m

Explanation:

(a) The magnetic dipole moment µ is given by

µ = NIAsin(θ)

I = µ/NAsin(θ)

Where µ is the magnetic dipole moment, N is the number of turns, I is the current flowing through the circular loop, A is the area of circular loop and is given by

A = πr²

A = π(0.0160)²

A = 0.000804 m²

I = 1.79/185*0.000804*sin(90)

I = 12.03 A

(b) The toque τ is given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)

The maximum torque occurs at θ = 90°

τ = 185*12.03*0.00804*0.0477*sin(90°)

τ = 0.0853 N.m

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
