Question

A square coil and a triangular coil each have sides of length L.The triangular coil has twice as
many turns as the square coil. If a the same current is sentthrough each coil, when the coils are
placed in the same uniform magnetic field making an angle of 30degrees with the planes of the coils, which coil experiences thegreater torque?

a. the square coil
b. the triangular coil
c. Both coils experience the same torque.
d. It depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field that the coilsare placed in.

Explanation / Answer

Let the side be L

Then area of the square A = L^ 2

Area of triangle A ‘ = ( 1/ 2) * base * height
