    A rectangular coil, of sides 2 cm and 3 cm respectively, has 10 turns in it. It carries a current of 1 A, and is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T in such a manner that its plane makes an angle\[60{}^\circ \]with the field direction. The torque on the loop is

    A)  \[6.0\times {{10}^{-4}}N-m\]   

    B)  \[6.0\times {{10}^{-5}}N-m\]

    C)  \[1.2\times {{10}^{-3}}N-m\]   

    D)  6.0 N-m

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     When a current carrying coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field B, then torque, \[\tau =MB\text{ }sin\theta \] \[\tau =(NIA)B\text{ }sin\theta \] \[\tau =10\times 1\times 0.2\times 6\times {{10}^{-4}}\times sin\text{ }30{}^\circ \] \[=10\times 1\times 0.2\times 6\times {{10}^{-4}}\times \frac{1}{2}\] \[=6\times {{10}^{-4}}N-m\]
