A square shaped plane coil of area 100 cm2 of 200 turns carries a steady current of 5A. It is
placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T acting perpendicular to the plane of the coil.
Calculate the torque on the coil when its plane makes an angle of 60° with the direction of
the field. In which orientation will the coil be in stable equilibrium?
Answer 1 Nm
A circular coil of radius r carries a current I. The magnetic field at its center is B. At what
distance from the centre, on the axis of the coil, the magnetic field will be B/16?
An electric current passes through a long straight copper wire. At a distance 15 cm from the
straight wire, the magnetic field is B . The magnetic field at 60 cm from the straight wire would be?
