Question
A 10.0-m-long copper wire with cross-sectional area 1.25 × 10–4 m2 is bent into a square loop, and then connected to a 0.25-V battery. The loop is then placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.19 T. What is the maximum torque that can act on this loop? The resistivity of copper is 1.70 × 10–8 Ω·m.

Answer:
Explanation:
Length of copper is L = 10m
Cross sectional area
A = 1.25×10^-4m²
Potential difference V = 0.25V
Magnetic field B = 0.19T
Resistivity ρ = 1.70 × 10^-8 Ω·m.
The resistance of the wire can be calculated using
R = ρL/A
R = 1.70 × 10^-8 × 10/1.25×10^-4
R = 1.36×10^-3 ohms
Using ohms law
v= IR
Then, I = V/R
I = 0.25/1.36×10^-3
I = 183.82 Amps
Maximum torque is give as
τ = NiAB
If the wire form a square
Then each side is L/4 = 10/4 = 2.5m
Then, Area of a square is L²
A = 2.5² = 6.25m²
Number of turn is assume to be 1
N=1
Therefore
τ = 1×183.82×6.25×0.19
τ = 218.29 Nm
