The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the torque acting on a moving coil galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Torque Formula**: The torque (\(\tau\)) acting on a coil in a magnetic field can be expressed as: \[ \tau = \mu \times B \] where \(\mu\) is the magnetic moment of the coil and \(B\) is the magnetic field. 2. **Define the Magnetic Moment**: The magnetic moment (\(\mu\)) for a coil with \(N\) turns, carrying a current \(I\), and having an effective area \(A\) is given by: \[ \mu = N \cdot I \cdot A \] 3. **Substitute the Magnetic Moment into the Torque Formula**: Replacing \(\mu\) in the torque formula, we get: \[ \tau = (N \cdot I \cdot A) \times B \] 4. **Consider the Angle Between \(\mu\) and \(B\)**: The torque can also be expressed in terms of the angle \(\theta\) between the magnetic moment and the magnetic field: \[ \tau = \mu B \sin(\theta) \] If the magnetic field \(B\) is radial and the angle \(\theta\) is \(90^\circ\) (which means the plane of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field), then \(\sin(90^\circ) = 1\). 5. **Final Expression for Torque**: Thus, substituting \(\theta = 90^\circ\) into the torque equation gives: \[ \tau = N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \] ### Conclusion: The torque acting on the coil of the moving coil galvanometer is given by: \[ \tau = N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \]
