  • question_answer 8)
    A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and area of cross-section , carrying a current of 4.0 A, is suspended through its centre allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane.                 (a) What is the magnetic moment associated with the solenoid?                 (b) What is the force and torque on the solenoid if a uniform horizontal magnetic field of is set up at an angle of with the axis of the solenoid?  

    Answer:

    (a) Using we get                                                 Direction of M is as per sense of current using the right handed rule.                 (b) Torque,                                                 Force is zero because of uniform field.
