Answer:
0.09 N
Explanation:
We are given that
Radius of disk,r=6 cm=[tex]\frac{6}{100}=0.06 m[/tex]
1 m=100 cm
B=1 T
Current,I=3 A
We have to find the frictional force at the rim between the stationary electrical contact and the rotating rim.
[tex]dF=IBdr[/tex]
[tex]dF=IBdr[/tex]
[tex]\tau=rdF=IBrdr[/tex]
[tex]\tau=\int_{0}^{R}IBr dr[/tex]
[tex]\tau=IB(\frac{R^2}{2}[/tex]
Torque due to friction
[tex]\tau=R\times F[/tex]
Where friction force=F
[tex]R\times F=\frac{IBR^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{IBR}{2}[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]F=\frac{3\times 1\times 0.06}{2}[/tex]
[tex]F=0.09 N[/tex]
