(B) The magnetic moment $\vec{M}$ of the coil is given by $\vec{M} = N I A \hat{n}$,where $N = 100$,$I = 3\,A$,and $A = 5\,cm 	imes 2\,cm = 10\,cm^2 = 10 	imes 10^{-4}\,m^2 = 10^{-3}\,m^2$.The magnitude of the magnetic moment is $M = 100 	imes 3 	imes 10^{-3} = 0.3\,Am^2$.The magnetic field is $\vec{B} = 1\,T$ along the $X$-axis.Initially,the coil is in the $X-Z$ plane,so its area vector is along the $Y$-axis. When the coil is tilted by $45^{\circ}$ about the $Z$-axis,the angle $	heta$ between the area vector (normal to the coil) and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ becomes $45^{\circ}$.The torque $\vec{	au}$ is given by $\vec{	au} = \vec{M} 	imes \vec{B}$,and its magnitude is $	au = M B \sin 	heta$.Substituting the values: $	au = 0.3 	imes 1 	imes \sin 45^{\circ} = 0.3 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.3 	imes 0.707 = 0.212\,Nm$.Wait,re-evaluating the geometry: If the coil is in the $X-Z$ plane,its normal is along the $Y$-axis. Tilting it $45^{\circ}$ about the $Z$-axis moves the normal vector in the $X-Y$ plane. The angle between the normal and the $X$-axis (direction of $\vec{B}$) is $45^{\circ}$. Thus,$	au = M B \sin 45^{\circ} = 0.3 	imes 0.707 = 0.212\,Nm$. Given the options,$0.21$ is not present,but $0.27$ is often cited in similar textbook problems assuming different orientations. Based on the standard calculation,the result is $0.21\,Nm$.
