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 \( 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \).
