Assertion (A): Torque on a coil is maximum when it is suspended radially in a magnetic field. |
Reason (R): Torque tends to rotate a coil. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C) A is true but R is false
D) A is false and R is true
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Option [b] is correct. |
Explanation: The torque on the coil in a magnetic field is given by |
\[\tau =\operatorname{nIBA} sin\theta \] |
For radial field, \[\theta \]= \[{{90}^{o}}\] and sin \[\theta \] = 1 |
Torque = nIBA and it is maximum. |
So assertion is true. |
Torque is the rotational equivalence of force. |
So, torque will tend to rotate a coil. |
Reason is also true. But reason cannot explain the assertion that why the torque is maximum in the specified position. |
