Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular coil with dimensions 0.2 m x 0.1 m carries a current of 4 A and is placed in a magnetic field of 0.3 T. Calculate the torque when it's inclined at an angle of 60 degrees.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to convert the angle to radians if needed.

Question 2

If the same coil is rotated from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, how does the torque change and why?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the characteristics of the sine function during this range.
