Q119 / 180 · NEET 2017 · Physics

A 250-Turn rectangular coil of length 2.1 cm and width 1.25 cm carries a current of 85 μA and subjected to a magnetic field of strength 0.85 T. Work done for rotating the coil by 180° against the torque is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    9.1 μJ
  • B
    4.55 μJ
  • C
    2.3 μJ
  • D
    1.15 μJ

Solution

W=MB cos⁡θ1-cos⁡θ2

When it is rotated by angle 180o then θ1=0° and θ2=180°

W=2MB

W=2NIAB

=2×250×85×10-6 1.25×2.1×10-4×85×10-2

=9.1 μJ

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
