Question

What is the maximum torque on a 15 What is the maximum torque on a 150-turn square loop of wire 18.0 cm on a side that carries a 50.0-A current in a 1.60-T field?

Answer 1

The maximum torque is 388.8 N-m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 150

Area = 18.0 cm

Current = 50.0 A

Magnetic field = 1.60 T

We need to calculate the maximum torque

Using formula of torque

`\tau=NIAB\sin\theta`

For maximum value of torque

`\theta=90^(\circ)`

Put the value into the formula

`\tau=150*50*(0.18)^2*1.60*1`

`\tau=388.8\ N-m`

Hence, The maximum torque is 388.8 N-m.
