A rectangular coil consists of N = 140 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions a = 0.400 m and b = 0.300 m.  The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle ? = 30.0° with the x axis (figure). What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field B = 0.610 T directed in the positive x direction when the current is I = 1.20 A in the direction shown? If you are looking downward from the positive ydirection, what is the expected direction of rotation of the coil?

A rectangular coil consists of N = 140 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions a = 0.400 m and b = 0.300 m.  The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle ? = 30.0° with the x axis (figure).

  1. What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field B = 0.610 T directed in the positive x direction when the current is I = 1.20 A in the direction shown?
  1. If you are looking downward from the positive ydirection, what is the expected direction of rotation of the coil?
