Problem

A rectangular coil of 200 turns has dimensions 4 cm×2 cm4\,\text{cm}\times 2\,\text{cm} and carries a current of 1.5 A1.5\,\text{A}. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.30 T0.30\,\text{T} such that the angle between the field and the normal to the coil is 45∘45^{\circ}. Calculate the magnitude of the torque acting on the coil.
