Question 1:

  • A moving coil galvanometer has a coil with 175 turns and area 1 cm2. It uses a torsion band of torsion constant 10-6 N-m/rad. The coil is placed in a magnetic field B parallel to its plane. The coil deflects by 1° for a current of 1 mA. The value of B (in Tesla) is approximately

  • A)

    10 3 10^{- 3}

    B)

    10 1 10^{- 1}

    C)

    10 4 10^{- 4}

    D)

    10 2 10^{- 2}

    Answer:

    1

    Solution:

    Here N = 175 , A = 10 4 m 2 , I = 10 3 A N = 175,A = 10^{- 4}{\text{\ }m}^{2},I = 10^{- 3}\text{\ }A ,

    θ = 1 , C = 10 6 N - m r a d 1 \theta = 1^{\circ},C = 10^{- 6}\text{\ }N\text{-}m{rad}^{- 1}

    To find: The value of magnetic field B B for which the coil deflects by angle

    θ = 1 = π 180 r a d , \theta = 1^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{180}rad,

    for a current of i = 1 m A i = 1\text{\ }mA .

    Torque on the coil due to magnetic field: τ = N I B A \tau = NIBA

    Restoring torque on the coil due to torsion band: τ = C θ \tau = C\theta

    T h u s N I B A = C θ Thus\ NIBA = C\theta

    B = C θ N I A B = \frac{C\theta}{NIA}

    = 10 6 × π 180 175 × 1 × 10 3 × 1 × 10 4 10 3 T = \frac{10^{- 6} \times \frac{\pi}{180}}{175 \times 1 \times 10^{- 3} \times 1 \times 10^{- 4}} \approx 10^{- 3}\text{\ }T
