Explain the significance of a radial magnetic field when a current carrying coil is kept in it.

A magnetic field, in which the plane of the coil in all positions remains parallel to the direction of magnetic field is called radial magnetic field. That is, the angle between the plane of the coil and the magnetic field is zero in all the orientation of the coil. In a radial magnetic field, magnetic torque remains maximum for all the positions of the coil.

Derive the expression for the torque acting on a current carrying loop placed in a magnetic field.

Torque on current carrying loop in maqgnetic field : Consider a coil PQRS placed in a magnetic field. Let θ be the angle between the plane of the coil and direction of B . When current flow through coil each side experiences a force. The forces on vertical side will constitute a couple. Moment of torque = One of forces × Perpendicular distance between lines of action of force τ = F × QT = F × b sin θ ⇒ τ = IlB b sin θ ⇒ τ = I lb B sin θ ⇒ τ = I A → × B → ( ∵ A = lb ) If there are N turns, then τ = NI A → × B → = M → × B → where M → = NI A → is magnetic moment of loop.

A square loop of side ' a ' carrying a current I 2 is kept at distance x from an infinitely long straight wire carrying a current I 1 as shown in the figure. Obtain the expression for the resultant force acting on the loop.

Consider that two straight infinite parallel conducting wires with current I 1 and I 2 are separated by a distance x , then force per unit length of each wire is given by : F a = μ 0 I 1 I 2 2 πx where, μ 0 is the magnetic permeability of free space. When the wires carry currents in the opposite direction, they repel and when the wires carry currents in the same direction, they attract. Forces F 3 and F 4 are equal and opposite, so they cancel out each other. Force of repulsion on conductor AB due to EF is F 1 = μ 0 4 π 2 I 1 I 2 a x Force of attraction on conductor CD due to EF is F 2 = μ 0 4 π 2 I 1 I 2 a x + a Net force on the loop is given by F net = F 1 - F 2 F 1 > F 2 ⇒ F net = μ 0 × 2 I 1 I 2 a 4 π 1 x - 1 x + a ⇒ F net = μ 0 4 π 2 I 1 I 2 a 2 x ( x + a )
