Example 19.13 :
A 50 turns rectangular coil with sides 10 cm 20 cm is placed
vertically in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 2.5 T. If
the current flows in the coil is 7.3 A, determine the torque acting on
the coil when the plane of the coil is
a. perpendicular to the field,
b. parallel to the field,
c. at 75 to the field.
Solution : N 50 turns; B 2.5 T; I 7.3 A

When the current I flows through the coil, the magnetic field
exerts a torque on the coil as given by

where
k : torsional constant
The coil and pointer will rotate only to the point where the
spring torque balances the torque due to magnetic field,
