A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side l is suspended between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet such that B vector is in plane of the coil. if due to a current i in the triangle a torque torque acts on it, the side l of the triangle is
A coil is in the shape of an equilateral triangle so each side has length = l m, Magnetic field = B,
when a current (i) is passed through the coil having area A, then the magnetic dipole moment of the coil is given by
M=IA where A is the area of the coil
[an equilateral triangle has an angle of 60 degree each]
therefore the magnetic dipole moment of the coil is
l2
The angle between the normal to the plane of the coil and the applied magnetic field is 90 degree.
Now the torque acting on the coil is given by
