Question 24
H

In a simple motor, the coil reaches the position where its plane is at right angles to the magnetic field. What is the resultant moment on the coil in this position?

[1]
A

A maximum, because the forces on the two sides are largest here

B

Zero, because the forces on the two sides of the coil are now zero

C

A maximum, because the forces on the two sides act in opposite ways

D

Zero, because the forces on the two sides act along the same line
