The correct Answer is:
To find the torque acting on a moving coil galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a coil with \( N \) turns, an effective area \( A \), and it carries a current \( I \). The magnetic field \( B \) is radial. 2. **Magnetic Dipole Moment**: - The magnetic dipole moment \( \vec{M} \) of the coil can be defined as: \[ \vec{M} = N \cdot I \cdot \vec{A} \] - Here, \( \vec{A} \) is the area vector of the coil, which is perpendicular to the plane of the coil. 3. **Torque on the Coil**: - The torque \( \vec{\tau} \) acting on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ \vec{\tau} = \vec{M} \times \vec{B} \] - The magnitude of the torque can be expressed as: \[ \tau = M \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] - Where \( \theta \) is the angle between the magnetic dipole moment \( \vec{M} \) and the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \). 4. **Angle Consideration**: - In this scenario, since the magnetic field \( B \) is radial and the area vector \( \vec{A} \) is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, the angle \( \theta \) between \( \vec{M} \) and \( \vec{B} \) is \( 90^\circ \). Thus, \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \). 5. **Substituting Values**: - Therefore, the torque simplifies to: \[ \tau = M \cdot B \] - Substituting the expression for \( M \): \[ \tau = (N \cdot I \cdot A) \cdot B \] 6. **Final Expression**: - Thus, the torque acting on the coil is: \[ \tau = N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \] ### Final Answer: The torque acting on the coil is \( \tau = N I A B \). ---
