Question
A rectangular coil of $100$ turns has length $5\ cm$ and width $4\ cm.$ It is placed with its plane parallel to a uniform magnetic field and a current of $2A$ is sent through the coil. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field $B$ if the torque acting on the coil is $0.2N m^{-1}$.

Answer

$\tau=\text{ni}\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
$\Rightarrow\tau=\text{ni}\text{ AB}\sin90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow0.2=100\times2\times5\times4\times10^{-4}\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{0.2}{100\times2\times5\times4\times10^{-4}}=0.5$ Tesla
