Consider a 150 turn square loop of wire 17.5 cm on a side that carries a 42 a current in a 1.7 t. a) what is the maximum torque on the loop of wire in n. m? b) what is the magnitude of the torque in n·m when the angle between the field and the normal to the plane of the loop θ is 14°?

(a) 328 Nm

(b) 79.35 Nm

Explanation:

N = =150, side = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m, i = 42 A, B = 1.7 T

A = side^2 = 0.175^2 = 0.030625 m^2

(a) Torque = N x i x A x B x Sinθ

For maximum torque, θ = 90 degree

Torque = 150 x 42 x 0.030625 x 1.7 x Sin 90

Torque = 328 Nm

(b) θ = 14 degree

Torque =  150 x 42 x 0.030625 x 1.7 x Sin 14

Torque = 79.35 Nm

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
