Question 44
H

A student changes a motor coil from 20 turns to 30 turns and reduces its current from 0.60 A to 0.40 A. The field, coil dimensions and coil position are unchanged. Each turn contributes the same turning effect for a given current. What happens to the total turning effect?

[1]
A

It stays the same because the product of turns and current is unchanged.

B

It increases because the number of turns alone determines the turning effect.

C

It decreases because the current alone determines the turning effect.

D

It doubles because both changes increase the force on each turn.
