An electric motor is a device to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The motor shown below has a rectangular coil (15cm×10cm) with 100 turns placed in a uniform magnetic fleld B=2.5T. When a current is passed through the coil, lt completes 50 revolutions in one second. the power output of the motor is 1.5kW. The current rating of the coil should be

Correct option is B)
Let I be the current through the coil of 100 turns. Let the magnetic moment M make an angle θ at an instant of time. Then, torque on the coil ∣τ∣=MBsinθ Work done by the torque in each half revolution =2W, where W is the work done in one full revolution. ∴2W=∫0πMBsinθdθ=IANB∫0πsinθdθ =2IANB ∴work output per revolution =W=4INAB Hence work output per second=Power=4INABf ∴1.5×103=4INABf I=4×100×150×10−4×2.5×501.5×103 ∴I=15×5015×102=2A
