Math Problem Statement

what current is required to be passed through the coil if it is required to generate 3Nm?

Solution

To determine the current required to generate 3 Nm of torque in the motor, we'll need to use the formula for the torque produced by a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field. The formula for the torque (τ\tau) is given by:

τ=nBIA\tau = n B I A

where:

  • nn is the number of turns in the coil
  • BB is the magnetic flux density
  • II is the current
  • AA is the area of the coil

Given the following dataTo determine the current required to generate 3 Nm of torque in the motor, we'll need to use the formula for the torque produced by a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field. The formula for the torque (τ\tau) is given by:

τ=nBIA\tau = n B I A

where:

  • nn is the number of turns in the coil
  • BB is the magnetic flux density
  • II is the current
  • AA is the area of the coil

Given the following

  • Number of turns (nn) = 190
  • Magnetic flux density (BB) = 1450 mT = 1450 \times 10^{-3} T = 1.45 T
  • Required torque (τ\tau) = 3 Nm
  • Coil radius (rr) = 30 cm = 0.30 m
  • Effective length of the coil (ll) = 22 cm = 0.22 m

The area of the coil (AA) can be calculated using the formula for the area of a rectangle (since the effective length and coil radius define the rectangular area): A=2×r×lA = 2 \times r \times l since both sides of the coil will interact with the magnet.

Substituting the values: A=2×0.30m×0.22m=0.132m2A = 2 \times 0.30 \, \text{m} \times 0.22 \, \text{m} = 0.132 \, \text{m}^2

Now, using the torque formula, we solve for the current (II): I=τnBAI = \frac{\tau}{n B A}

Substituting the given values: I=3Nm190×1.45T×0.132m2I = \frac{3 \, \text{Nm}}{190 \times 1.45 \, \text{T} \times 0.132 \, \text{m}^2}

I=3190×1.45×0.132I = \frac{3}{190 \times 1.45 \times 0.132}

I=336.438I = \frac{3}{36.438}

I0.0823A=82.32mAI \approx 0.0823 \, \text{A} = 82.32 \, \text{mA}

Therefore, the current required to generate 3 Nm of torque is approximately 82.32 mA.
