No of turns per unit length for an infinite  solenoid: $n =

\dfrac{B}{\mu _0 i}=\dfrac{3.14 \times 10^{-2}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 5}=5000$

A circular coil of $16$ turns and radius $10$ cm carrying a current of $0.75 A$ rests with its plane normal to an external field of magnitude $5.0 \times 10^{-2}T$. The coil is free to turn about an axis in its plane perpendicular to the filed direction. When the coil is turned slightly and released, it oscillates about its stable equilibrium with a frequency of $2.0/s$. What is the moment of inertia of the coil about its axis of rotation?

  1. $1.2 \times 10^{4} g-cm^2$

  2. $3\times 10^{4} kg-m^2$

  3. $0.3 \times 10^{4} kg-m^2$

  4. $1.2 \times 10^{4} kg-m^2$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given that,
Number of turns in the circular coil, $N = 16$
Radius of the coil, $r = 10$ cm $= 0.1m$ 
Current in the coil, $I = 0.75A$ 
Magnetic field strength, $B = 5.0 \times 10^{2}T$ 
Frequency of oscillations of the coil, $v = 2.0s^{-1}$
Magnetic moment, $M = NIA$
$M = NI\pi r^2 = (16)(0.75)\pi(0.1)^2 = 0.3768 JT^{-1}$
The frequency is given by,
$ \nu = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt {\dfrac{MB}{I}}$

$ I = \dfrac{MB}{4 \pi^2 \nu^2}$

$I = \dfrac{(0.3768)(5 \times 10^{2})}{4 \pi^2 2^2}$

$I = 1.19 \times 10^{4} = 1.2 \times 10^{4} Kg-m^{2}$
