Explanation / Answer

1.
mag field B = 0.931 T
v = 2.58 x 10^6 m/s
theta = 39.8
q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
Force = Bqv sin theta = 0.931 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 2.58 x 10^6 sin 39.8 = 2.46 x 10^-13 N (option C)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. torque on loop = B sin theta = (9.45 x 10^-3 x pi x (0.765)^2 ) 0.645 (1) = 11.2 mNxm option A
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. R = 6.54 ohmsV
battery resistance, r =0.24 ohms
V = 9 volts
battery emf = e
current drawn i = 9/6.54 = 1.38 A
e = V + i (r) = 9 + 1.38 (0.24 ) = 9.33 v option B
