Question
A rectangular coil of $100$ turns has length $5\ cm$ and width $4\ cm$. It is placed with its plane parallel to a uniform magnetic field and a current of $2A$ is sent through the coil. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field $B$ if the torque acting on the coil is $0.2\ N m^{-1}.$

Answer

$\tau=\text{ni}\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
$\Rightarrow\tau=\text{ni}\text{ AB}\sin90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow0.2=100\times2\times5\times4\times10^{-4}\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{0.2}{100\times2\times5\times4\times10^{-4}}=0.5$ Tesla

It is proposed to move a particle in simple harmonic motion on a rough horizontal surface by applying an external force along the line of motion. Sketch the graph of the applied force against the position of the particle. Note that the applied force has two values for a given position depending on whether the particle is moving in positive or negative direction.
