Significance of torque and orientation energy of a magnetic field

The torque, τ→experienced by the current carrying coil of area A and turns N, and carrying a current i in the uniform magnetic field B→is equal to the cross product of magnetic dipole momentμ→ of the coil and magnetic field B→.

The orientation energy of a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field is equal to the negative dot product of the magnetic dipole moment μ→of the coil and magnetic field B→.

Formula:

role="math" localid="1662971704358" τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗ ...(i)

Here, τ→is the torque experienced by the current carrying coil, role="math" localid="1662970793088" μ→is the magnetic dipole moment, and B→is the magnetic field.

U(θ)=-μ⃗⋅B⃗ ...(ii)

Here, U(θ)is the orientation energy, μ→is the magnetic dipole moment, and B→is the magnetic field. μ=NiA ...(iii)

Here, μis the magnetic dipole moment, N is the number of turns of the coil, i is current in the coil, and A is the area of the cross-section of the coil.

Determining the value of μ

The magnetic dipole moment is calculated as,

μ⃗=μ(0.60i^-0.80j^).

The value of μis calculated using equation (i) as follows:

role="math" localid="1662971327706" μ=NiA=NiÏ€°ù2

Substitute the values of current, radius and number of turns to calculate μ.

μ=1(0.20A)π0.080m2=4.02×10-3A.m2

Therefore, the value of μis 4.02×10-3A.m2

(a) Determining the torque

Calculate the value of torque using the equation (i) as below:

τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗=μ0.60i^-0.80j^×0.25Ti^+0.30Tk^=μ(0.600.30i^×j^-(0.800.25(j^×i^))-((0.80)(0.30)(j^×k^)))T=μ(-0.24i^-0.18j^+0.20k^)T

Now, substitute the value of μcalculated in step 1.

τ→=4.02×10-3A.m2(-0.24i^-0.18j^+0.20k^)=(-9.7×10-4)i^-(7.2×10-4)j^+(8.0×10-4)k^N.m

Therefore, the torque acting on the loop is,

(-9.7×10-4)i^-(7.2×10-4)j^+(8.0×10-4)k^N⋅m

05

(b) Determining the orientation energy

Use the equation (iii) to calculate the orientation energy.

Uθ=-μ(0.60i^-0.80jÁåž).0.25Ti^+(0.30T)k^=-μ(0.60)(0.25)T=-0.15μ=-6.0×10-4J

JTherefore, the orientation energy of the loop is -6.0×10-4.

A stationary circular wall clock has a face with a radius of 15 cm. Six turns of wire are wound around its perimeter; the wire carries a current of 2.0 A in the clockwise direction. The clock is located where there is a constant, uniform external magnetic field of magnitude 70 mT (but the clock still keeps perfect time). At exactly 1:00 P.M., the hour hand of the clock points in the direction of the external magnetic field. (a) After how many minutes will the minute hand point in the direction of the torque on the winding due to the magnetic field? (b) Find the torque magnitude.

In (Figure (a)), two concentric coils, lying in the same plane, carry currents in opposite directions. The current in the larger coil 1 is fixed. Currentin coil 2 can be varied.

If the current in coil 2 is then reversed, what is the magnitude of the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system when i2=7.0mA?
