    A coil of 100 turns and area\[2\times {{10}^{-2}}{{m}^{2}},\]pivoted about a vertical diameter in a uniform magnetic field carries a current of 5A. When the coil is held with its plane in North-South direction, it experiences a torque of 0.3 Nm. When the plane is in East-West direction the torque is 0.4 Nm. The value of magnetic induction is (Neglect earths magnetic field)

    A)  0.2 T

    B)                                         0.3 T

    C)  0.4 AT             

    D)         0.1T

    E)  0.05 T

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Given   \[A=2\times {{10}^{-2}}{{m}^{2}}\] \[N=100\] \[I=5A\] When the coil is held with its plane in North-South direction then its torque \[{{\tau }_{1}}=0.3Nm\] \[{{\tau }_{1}}=MB\sin \theta \] When the plane is in East-West direction then its torque                 \[{{\tau }_{2}}=0.4\,Nm\]                 \[{{\tau }_{2}}=MB\sin ({{90}^{o}}-\theta )\]                 \[{{\tau }_{2}}=MB\cos \theta \] \[Ratio=\frac{MB\,\sin \theta }{MB\cos \theta }=\frac{{{\tau }_{1}}}{{{\tau }_{2}}}\]                 \[\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}\] Or           \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\] then \[sin\text{ }\theta =0.6\] \[\therefore \]  \[B=\frac{{{\tau }_{1}}}{M\,\sin \theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B=\frac{0.3}{NIA\sin \theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B=\frac{0.3}{100\times 5\times 2\times {{10}^{-2}}\times 0.6}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B=0.05\,T\]
