Easy INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

A galvanometer coil has 500 turns and each turn has an average area of 3 $\times$ 10–4 m2 . If a torque of 1.5 Nm is required to keep this coil parallel to a magnetic field when a current of 0.5 A is flowing through it, the strength of the field (in T) is ______.

Answer (integer) 20

Solution

Given N = 500 <br><br>A = 3 $\times$ 10<sup>–4</sup> m<sup>2</sup> <br><br>$\tau$ = 1.5 Nm <br><br>i = 0.5 A <br><br>We know, $\tau = BINA\,sin\theta$<br><br>$1.5 = B \times 0.5 \times 500 \times 3 \times {10^{ - 4}}$<br><br>$B = {{10000} \over {500}} = 20$ Tesla
