The coil of a moving coil voltmeter is 50 mm long and 40 mm wide and h...
N/m on the coil when it is deflected through an angle of 50°. Determine the voltage that will cause the coil to be deflected through this angle.
We can use the equation for torque on a coil in a magnetic field:
T = NABIBsinθ
where T is the torque, N is the number of turns on the coil, A is the area of the coil, B is the magnetic field strength, I is the current flowing through the coil, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the plane of the coil.
We can rearrange this equation to solve for the current:
I = T/(NABBsinθ)
The voltage V across the coil is related to the current I by Ohm's law:
V = IR
where R is the resistance of the coil. We can assume that the resistance of the coil is constant.
Substituting the values given in the problem, we have:
N = 120 turns
A = 0.05 m x 0.04 m = 0.002 m^2
T = 200 N/m
θ = 50° = 0.87 radians
B = unknown
R = unknown
Solving for B, we have:
B = T/(NABIsinθ) = 200/(120 x 0.002 x I x sin(0.87)) = 2.24 x 10^-3 I^-1 T
We can measure the current I that flows through the coil when it is deflected through the angle θ = 50°. The voltage across the coil is then:
V = IR = I(R) = I(unknown)
Substituting for B and solving for I, we have:
I = T/(NABsinθ) = 200/(120 x 0.002 x 2.24 x 10^-3 x sin(0.87)) = 0.834 A
Finally, we can calculate the voltage:
V = IR = 0.834 x R
The value of R is not given in the problem, so we cannot give a numerical answer for the voltage. However, we can see that the voltage is proportional to the current, which is in turn proportional to the torque on the coil. Therefore, increasing the torque on the coil by increasing the magnetic field strength or the number of turns on the coil will increase the deflection of the coil and the voltage measured by the voltmeter.
