A single-turn circular loop of radius 9.4 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnitude 0.7 G directed at 70degrees below the horizontal north direction. Find the current in the loop.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The current in the loop is 10.5 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 9.4 cm

Magnetic field = 0.7 G

Angle = 70°

We know that,

The magnetic field due to the current in a loop is

[tex]B_{I}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}NI}{2r}[/tex]

The magnetic field due to the current is equal to the magnetic field of earth.

[tex]B_{E}=B_{I}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}NI}{2r}[/tex]

We need to calculate the current in the loop

Using formula of magnetic field

[tex]B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}NI}{2r}[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{2rB}{\mu_{0}N}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]I=\dfrac{2\times9.4\times10^{-2}\times0.7\times10^{-4}}{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times1}[/tex]

[tex]I=10.5\ A[/tex]

Hence, The current in the loop is 10.5 A.
