Question

A coil of wire has 400 turns, each of area 50 cm2. What B-field is required if a 4.5 A current produces a maximum 3.5 N . m torque?

A. 0.97 mT

B. 0.39 T

C. 1.54 T

D. 156 T

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

Number of turns (n) = 400

Area (A) = 50 cm2 = 50×10-4 m2

Current (I) = 4.5 A

Maximum toque (τ) = 3.5 N.m

Required:

The magnitude field (B)
