Question
A loop of wire of 25 turns has an area of 2.0x10-2 m2. A current of 1.25A flows in the loop. Calculate the torque on the loop when its plane is PARALLEL to a uniform magnetic field of 0.2T.
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Plane parallel to B means maximum torque: tau=NBIA=(25)(0.2)(1.25)(0.02)=0.125Nm.
Hint
Plane parallel to B means maximum torque: tau=NBIA=(25)(0.2)(1.25)(0.02)=0.125Nm.
