4.24 A uniform magnetic field of 3000 G is established along the positive z-direction. A rectangular loop of sides 10 cm and 5 cm carries a current of 12 A. What is the torque on the loop in the different cases shown in Fig. 4.28? What is the force on each case? Which case corresponds to stable equilibrium?

    4.24 Magnetic field strength, B = 3000G = 3000 × 10 - 4 T = 0.3 T

    Length of the rectangular loop, l = 10 cm

    Width of the rectangular loop, b = 5 cm

    Area of the loop, A = l × b = 10 × 5 = 50 c m 2 = 50 × 10 - 4 m 2

    Current in the loop, I = 12 A

    Assume that the anti-clockwise direction of the current is positive and vice versa.

    Torque, τ ? = A ? × B ?

    From the given figure, it can be observed that A is normal to the y-z plane and B is directed along z-axis.

    τ = 12*( 50 × 10 - 4 ) i ? × 0.3 k ? = - 1.8 × 10 - 2 j ? Nm

    The Torque 1.8 × 10 - 2 is Nm along the negative y-direction.

    The force on the loop is zero because the angle between A & B is zero.

    This case is similar to case (a). The answer is same as case (a)

    Torque, τ ? = I A ? × B ?
