A wire of length L is bent into a square loop and is placed in a magnetic field to produce a motor. For a fixed value of current and magnetic field, what will produce a greater torque, forming the wire into a single large loop or two, smaller loops? It depends on the exact values of I and B. the larger loop. two smaller loops. It is the same.

@shivam_bhalla do u know how can i solve it please :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For a circular ring, \[\large B = \frac{\mu_0 n I }{2r}\] n-->number of loops I--> current in loop r-->radius of loop Now think carefully and try the question Hopefully you know L = 2 (pi)(r) Now Take case 1 --> One loop Take case 2 -->Two loops and find radius for each case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where L -->length of wire For n loops L = n (2)pi(r) Now try :d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try and tell me. I again repeat be careful while calculating radius of single loop and double loop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer will be ( It is the same.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shivam_bhalla my answer is correct or not ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well If forgot about the torque. For torque, t = B I A n cosq where B = magnetic flux density of the field, I = current flowing in coil, A = area of coil, n = number of turns of wire in coil and q = initial angle made by plane of coil and the B field direction. Note that when q = 90o (coil perpendicular to field direction), no torque exits since then F and d are both in the same plane.

*I

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok my answer now is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you can always correct your answer @blacktigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i asked my friend he told me it will be the larger loop. @shivam_bhalla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry @ Blacktigger. I have made very foolish mistakes I have complicated the problem. The mistake I have made is that I assumed it as circle It should be torque, t = B I A n cosq where B = magnetic flux density of the field, I = current flowing in coil, A = area of coil, n = number of turns of wire in coil and q = initial angle made by plane of coil and the B field direction. Note that when q = 90o (coil perpendicular to field direction), no torque exits since then F and d are both in the same plane. Area of coil = a^2 a-->side of a square coil Now write for A-->area of coil A = a^2 Find a (side of square ) by using For loop 1 L = 4a_1 For loop 2 L = 8a^2 Now try you should get the answer and sorry for the mistake I made

ok np i will try it again now :)
