When a current carrying coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its magnetic moment anti-parallel to the field.

A rectangular coil of n turns each of area A, carrying current I, when suspended in a uniform magnetic field B, experiences a torque tau=nIBAsin theta where theta is the angle with a normal drawn on the plane of coil makes with the direction of magnetic field. This torque tends to rotate the coil and bring it in equilibrium position. In stable equilibrium state, the resultant force on the coil is zero. The torque on coil is also zero and the coil has minimum potential energy. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) In which position, a current carrying coil suspended in a uniform magnetic field experiences (a) minimum torque and (b) maximum torque? (ii) A circular coil of 200 turns, radius 5cm carries a current of 2*0A . It is suspended vertically in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 0*20T , with the plane of the coil making an angle of 60^@ with the field lines. Calculate the magnitude of the torque that must be applied on it to prevent it from turning. (iii) What is the basic value displayed by the above study?

A coil of radius 2 cm and 500 turns, carries of a current of 2A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction 0.5T. What is the torque acting on the coil if theta=30◦ ?
