Question 33

A motor turns a carousel carrying laboratory sample tubes. An engineer is choosing a replacement coil. The magnetic flux density and coil dimensions are unchanged between the two coils. For this comparison, the turning effect is proportional to the number of turns multiplied by the current.

The replacement coil must produce a turning effect at least 25% greater than that of the existing coil.

Calculate the minimum current needed in the replacement coil.
