Homework Statement
A conducting wire runs directly over a horizontal compass in the north-south direction. When a current of magnitude I passes through the wire, the compass needle swings 20° to the west and stays in that position.
When a current of 2I passes through the wire, the compass needle swings α° to the west and stops. What condition does α fulfill?
Homework Equations
I used M(couple moment) = BIANcosθ
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not sure that at does the moment between the 1st event (when I passes) and the 2nd event (2I passes) equal?
I guess it is not because I my answer is wrong when I assume like this... But what is the relationship between 1st and 2nd event for solving this problem...
Help is appreciate..
Thanks in advance :)
