Expert Answer
The area of cross-section of the coil is A = lb
Now, the magnetic moment of the coil is
m = IA = Ilb
Now, we know that the torque acting on the coil is given as
Here, θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the plane of the coil.
Now, the magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the coil. Also, the normal to the coil will be perpendicular to the coil.
So, the angle between the normal and the field is 0.
Hence, the torque acting on the coil is zero.
