The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnetic field \( B \) in a moving coil galvanometer given the following parameters:
- Number of turns, \( n = 175 \)
- Area of the coil, \( A = 1 \, \text{cm}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \)
- Torsion constant, \( C = 10^{-6} \, \text{N-m/rad} \)
- Deflection angle, \( \theta = 1^\circ \)
- Current, \( I = 1 \, \text{mA} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \)
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Convert the angle from degrees to radians:**
\[
\theta = 1^\circ = \frac{\pi}{180} \, \text{radians}
\]
2. **Write the equation for torque:**
The torque \( \tau \) on the coil due to the magnetic field is given by:
\[
\tau = C \cdot \theta
\]
where \( C \) is the torsion constant and \( \theta \) is the deflection in radians.
3. **Write the expression for the torque due to the magnetic moment:**
The torque \( \tau \) on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field is also given by:
\[
\tau = m \cdot B
\]
where \( m \) is the magnetic moment, given by:
\[
m = n \cdot I \cdot A
\]
Here, \( n \) is the number of turns, \( I \) is the current, and \( A \) is the area of the coil.
4. **Combine the equations:**
Setting the two expressions for torque equal to each other:
\[
C \cdot \theta = n \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B
\]
5. **Rearranging to find \( B \):**
\[
B = \frac{C \cdot \theta}{n \cdot I \cdot A}
\]
6. **Substituting the known values:**
- Convert \( \theta \) to radians:
\[
\theta = \frac{\pi}{180} \, \text{radians}
\]
- Substitute \( C = 10^{-6} \, \text{N-m/rad} \), \( n = 175 \), \( I = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \), and \( A = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \):
\[
B = \frac{10^{-6} \cdot \frac{\pi}{180}}{175 \cdot 1 \times 10^{-3} \cdot 1 \times 10^{-4}}
\]
7. **Calculating the denominator:**
\[
175 \cdot 1 \times 10^{-3} \cdot 1 \times 10^{-4} = 175 \times 10^{-7} = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}
\]
8. **Calculating \( B \):**
\[
B = \frac{10^{-6} \cdot \frac{\pi}{180}}{1.75 \times 10^{-5}} = \frac{10^{-6} \cdot 3.14159}{180 \cdot 1.75 \times 10^{-5}}
\]
\[
B \approx \frac{3.14159 \times 10^{-6}}{3.15 \times 10^{-5}} \approx 0.1 \, \text{T}
\]
9. **Final approximation:**
The value of \( B \) is approximately \( 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \).
### Conclusion:
The approximate value of the magnetic field \( B \) is \( 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \).
