Understanding the concept

By takingthe scalar product of the magnetic dipole moment μ→of the coil with the magnetic field B→, we can find the orientation energy of the coil. By taking vector product ofthe magnetic dipole moment μ→and magnetic fieldB→, we can find thetorque on the coil due to the magnetic field.

Formula:

  1. The orientation energy of the magnetic dipole isU=-μ⃗.B⃗
  2. The magnitude ofμ→isμ=NiA
  3. Torque on the coil isτ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗
03

(a) Determinig the orientation energy of the coil in the magnetic field

The orientation energy of the magnetic dipole is given by

U=-μ⃗.B⃗

Where μ→is the magnetic dipole moment of the coil and B→is the magnetic field

We know that the magnitude of μ→is

μ=NiA

Where i is the current in the coil, N is the number of turns, A is the area of coil.

By using the right-hand rule, we see that μ→is in -y direction.

Thus, we have,

μ=NiA(-j^)

μ=(-3×2.00A×4.00×10-3m2)j^=(-0.0240Am2)j^

The corresponding orientation energy is given by

role="math" localid="1662967936394" U=-μ⃗.B⃗U=-μyBy

U= (-0.0240A.m2)×(-3.00×10-3T)

=-7.20×10-5J

 Step 5: (b) Determining the torque on the coil due to the magnetic field.

The torque on the coil is given by

τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗

Since , j^.i^=0,j^×j^=0andj^×k^=i^

Therefore, the torque on the coil is

τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗

τ=μyBzi^-μyBxk^=(-0.024A.m2)((4.00×10-3T)i^-(2.00x10-3T)k^=(9.60×10-5Nm)i^=+(4.80×10-5Nm)k^
