    A wire of length L is bent in the form of a circular coil and current i is passed through it. If this coil is placed in a magnetic field then the torque acting on the coil will be maximum when the number of turns is

    A)  as large as possible        

    B)  any number

    C)  2                                            

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Maximum torque,  \[{{\tau }_{\max }}=MB\] or             \[{{\tau }_{\max }}=ni\pi {{r}^{2}}B\] Let number of turns in length \[l\] is n so \[l=n(2\pi r)\] or            \[r=\frac{l}{2\pi n}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\tau }_{\max }}=\frac{ni\pi B{{l}^{2}}}{4{{\pi }^{2}}{{n}^{2}}}=\frac{{{l}^{2}}iB}{4\pi {{n}_{\min }}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\tau }_{\max }}\propto \frac{1}{{{n}_{\min }}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{n}_{\max }}=1\]
