(a) A circular coil of 30 turns and radius 8.0 cm carrying a
current of 6.0 A is suspended vertically in a uniform horizontal
magnetic field of magnitude 1.0 T. The field lines make an angle of
60º
with the normal of the coil. Calculate the magnitude of
the counter torque that must be applied to prevent the coil from
turning.




(b) Would your answer change, if the circular coil in (a)
were replaced by a planar coil of some irregular shape that encloses
the same area? (All other particulars are also unaltered.)
