    A magnet\[10cm\]long and having a pole strength\[2Am\]is deflected through\[{{30}^{o}}\]from the magnetic meridian. The horizontal component of earths introduction is\[0.32\times {{10}^{-4}}T\], then the value of deflecting couple is

    A) \[16\times {{10}^{-7}}Nm\]                        

    B) \[64\times {{10}^{-7}}Nm\]

    C) \[48\times {{10}^{-7}}Nm\]                        

    D) \[32\times {{10}^{-7}}Nm\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Deflecting couple is given by                 \[\tau =MH\sin \theta \]                                              ... (i) where \[M=\]magnetic moment = pole strength x effective length                 \[=2\times 10\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                 \[=2\times {{10}^{-1}}A{{m}^{2}}\]  \[H=\]horizontal component of earths magnetic field                    \[=0.32\times {{10}^{-4}}T\] and        \[\theta ={{30}^{o}}\] From Eq. (i), we get                 \[\tau =2\times {{10}^{-1}}\times 0.32\times {{10}^{-4}}\times \sin {{30}^{o}}\]                    \[=0.64\times {{10}^{-5}}\times \frac{1}{2}\]                   \[=0.32\times {{10}^{-5}}Nm\]                   \[=32\times {{10}^{-7}}Nm\]
