$A$ wire of length $L$ is bent in the form of a circular coil and current $i$ is passed through it. If this coil is placed in a magnetic field,then the torque acting on the coil will be maximum when the number of turns is

$A$ rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length $l$ joined together by rods of length $d$. The wires are each of the same material but with cross-sections differing by a factor of $2$. The thicker wire has a resistance $R$ and the rods are of low resistance,which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source $V_{0}$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ at $45^{\circ}$ to its plane. Find the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centers of the rods.
