The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the side length \( l \) of an equilateral triangle coil that is suspended in a magnetic field and experiences a torque \( \tau \) due to a current \( I \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Torque in a Magnetic Field**: The torque \( \tau \) acting on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ \tau = I \cdot B \cdot A \cdot \sin(\theta) \] where: - \( I \) is the current through the coil, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( A \) is the area of the coil, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the coil. 2. **Setting the Angle**: In this case, the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) is in the plane of the coil, which means \( \theta = 90^\circ \). Therefore, \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \), and the torque simplifies to: \[ \tau = I \cdot B \cdot A \] 3. **Calculating the Area of the Equilateral Triangle**: The area \( A \) of an equilateral triangle with side length \( l \) is given by: \[ A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} l^2 \] 4. **Substituting the Area into the Torque Equation**: Now, substituting the expression for the area into the torque equation gives: \[ \tau = I \cdot B \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} l^2\right) \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation to Solve for \( l^2 \)**: Rearranging the equation to isolate \( l^2 \): \[ l^2 = \frac{4\tau}{I \cdot B \cdot \sqrt{3}} \] 6. **Taking the Square Root**: Now, taking the square root of both sides to find \( l \): \[ l = \sqrt{\frac{4\tau}{I \cdot B \cdot \sqrt{3}}} \] 7. **Simplifying the Expression**: This can be simplified further: \[ l = \frac{2\sqrt{\tau}}{\sqrt{I \cdot B \cdot \sqrt{3}}} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the side length \( l \) of the equilateral triangle coil is: \[ l = \frac{2\sqrt{\tau}}{\sqrt{I \cdot B \cdot \sqrt{3}}} \]
