A circular coil of 30 turns and radius `8.0cm` carrying a current of `6.0A` suspended vertically in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude `1.0T`. The field lines makes an angle of `60^(@)` with the normal of the coild. Calculate the magnitude of the counter torque that must be applies to prevent the coil form turning.

Number of turns on the circular coil n=30, Radius of the coil r=8.0 cm =0.08 cm Area of the coil `=pir^(2)=pi(0.08)^(2)=0.0201m^(2)`, Current flowing in the coil `I=6.0A`
Angle between the field lines and normal with the coil surface, `theta=60^(@)`.
The coil experience a torque in the magnetic field. Hence, it turns. The counter torque applied to prevent the coil from turning is given by the relation.
`tau=n I B sin theta`..........i , `=30xx6xx1xx0.0201xxsin 60^(@)=3.133Nm`
