Answer:
The torque in the coil is 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m
Explanation:
T = NIABsinθ
Where;
T is the torque on the coil
N is the number of loops = 9
I is the current = 7.8 A
A is the area of the circular coil = ?
B is the Earth's magnetic field = 5.5 × 10⁻⁵ T
θ is the angle of inclination = 90 - 56 = 34°
Area of the circular coil is calculated as follows;
[tex]A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\\\A = \frac{\pi 0.17^2}{4} =0.0227 m^2[/tex]
T = 9 × 7.8 × 0.0227 × 5.5×10⁻⁵ × sin34°
T = 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m
Therefore, the torque in the coil is 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m
