$A$ small coil of $N$ turns has an effective area $A$ and carries a current $I$. It is suspended in a horizontal magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ such that its plane is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{B}$. The work done in rotating it by $180^\circ$ about the vertical axis is

$A$ rectangular coil $20\,cm \times 20\,cm$ has $100$ turns and carries a current of $1\,A$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B = 0.5\,T$ with the direction of the magnetic field parallel to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the torque required to hold this coil in this position is ........ $N-m$.

$A$ thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$,as shown in the figure. Initially,it hangs vertically downwards,because of acceleration due to gravity $g$,on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $I$ is passed through the loop,the loop turns about the line $PQ$ by an angle $\theta$ given by
