A square coil of side $10\; cm$ consists of $20$ turns and carries a current of $12\; A$. The coil is suspended vertically and the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of $30^o$ with the direction of a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude $0.80 \;T$. What is the magnitude of torque (in $N\;m$) experienced by the coil?

Length of a side of the square coil, $l=10 \,cm =0.1\, m$

Current flowing in the coil, $I=12\, A$

Number of turns on the coil, $n=20$

Angle made by the plane of the coil with magnetic field, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

Strength of magnetic field, $B=0.80\, T$

Magnitude of the magnetic torque experienced by the coil in the magnetic field is given by the relation,

$\tau=n B L A \sin \theta$

$\Rightarrow l \times l=0.1 \times 0.1=0.01\, m^{2}$

$\therefore \tau=20 \times 0.8 \times 12 \times 0.01 \times \sin 30^{\circ}$

$=0.96 \,Nm$

Hence, the magnitude of the torque experienced by the coil is $0.96 \,N m$

    In the xy-plane, the region $y >0$ has a uniform magnetic field $B_1 \hat{k}$ and the region $y<0$ has another uniform magnetic field $B_2 \hat{k}$. A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive $y$-axis with speed $v _0=\pi m s ^{-1}$ at $t =0$, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let $t = T$ be the time when the particle crosses the $x$-axis from below for the first time.
