                 The torque required to hold a small circular coil of 10 turns, area \[1\text{ }m{{m}^{2}}\] and carrying a current of \[\left( \frac{21}{44} \right)A\] in the middle of a long solenoid of \[{{10}^{3}}\] turns/m carrying a current of 2.5 A, with its axis perpendicular to the axis of the solenoid is:

    A) \[1.5\times {{10}^{-6}}Nm\]           

    B)             \[1.5\times {{10}^{-8}}Nm\]

    C)             \[1.5\times {{10}^{6}}Nm\]                 

    D)             \[1.5\times {{10}^{8}}Nm\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) \[1.5\times {{10}^{-8}}N\,m\] Here, for small circular coil, Number of turns, \[N=10\], Area, \[A=1\,m{{m}^{2}}=1\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{2}}\] Current, \[{{l}_{1}}=\frac{21}{44}A\] For a long solenoid, Number of turns per metre, \[n={{10}^{3}}/m\] Current.                         \[{{l}_{2}}=2.5\,A\] Magnetic field due to a long solenoid on its axis is                         \[B={{\mu }_{0}}n{{l}_{2}}\]                                                                                                              ...(1) Magnetic moment of a circular coil is                         \[M=NA{{l}_{1}}\]                                                                                                       ...(2) Torque, \[\overrightarrow{\tau }=\overrightarrow{M}\times \overrightarrow{B}\] \[\tau =MB\,\sin \theta =MB[\because \,\theta =90{}^\circ (Given)]\] \[\tau (NA{{l}_{1}})({{\mu }_{0}}n{{l}_{2}})\] [Using eqs. (1) and (2)] \[\tau =10\times 1\times {{10}^{-6}}\times \frac{21}{44}\times 4\times \frac{22}{7}\times {{10}^{-7}}\times {{10}^{3}}\times 2.5\] \[=1.5\times {{10}^{-8}}Nm\]
