The plane of a suspended current carrying rectangular coil makes an angle `theta` with the direction of uniform magnetic field. Calculate the torque acting on the coil.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If we take the angle to be `(90^(@)-theta)`, the equation for the torque becomes
`tau=BIAcostheta`
