Question 23

A motor contains a rectangular coil with 32 turns. On one side of the coil, a 45 mm section of every turn lies at right angles to a uniform magnetic field.

A current of 2.5 A flows through the coil. The combined magnetic force on the 32 sections is 1.08 N.

a.

Calculate the magnetic flux density.

[4]
b.

The current in the coil decreases to 1.8 A. The magnetic flux density and the number of turns remain unchanged.

Calculate the new combined magnetic force on the sections.
