Practice question
Question
A square loop of side 0.2 m with 30 turns carries 1.5 A in a magnetic field of 0.4 T . The plane of the loop is at 60° to the field. What is the torque?
Explanation
Given:
A square loop of side 0.2 m with 30 turns carries 1.5 A in a magnetic field of 0.4 T . The plane of the loop is at 60° to the field. What is the torque?
Formula:
Torque tau = N I A B sin θ, where A = 0.2 × 0.2 = 0.04 m².
Substitution & Calculation:
tau = 30 × 1.5 × 0.04 × 0.4 × sin 60° = 1.8 × 0.4 × 0.866 = 0.6235 approx 0.62 N m .
Final Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
