Youre developing a system to orient an orbiting telescope. The system uses three perpendicular coils, with torques
Question:
You’re developing a system to orient an orbiting telescope. The system uses three perpendicular coils, with torques developed in Earth’s magnetic field when current passes through them. Weight limitations restrict you to a length l of wire for each coil. A colleague argues you’ll get the greatest dipole moment and therefore the most torque with a multi-turn coil. You say a 1-turn coil is best. Who’s right?
Step by Step Answer:
The argument by colleague is right The magnetic dipole moment M is ...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
