Q. A coil of 100 turns kept in magnetic field B- 0.2T, carries a current of 2A as shown in figure. Torque on coil and which side of coil comes out from the plane of the paper :-

(1) 0.16 N-m, BC side comes out from plane of paper
(2) ​0.16 N-m, AD side comes out from plane of paper
(3) 0.32 N, BC side comes out from plane of paper
(4) ​0.32 N, AD side comes out from plane of paper

Dear Student ,
Here in this case from the given data we can write that ,
Torque=τ=BINA=0.2×100×2×8×10×10-4=0.32 N-mAs the current goes counter clockwise and the lines of force goes from N to S so the AD side comes out of the plane of the paper.
Regards
