$A$ single circular loop of radius $1.00 \, m$ carries a current of $10.0 \, mA$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $0.500 \, T$ that is directed parallel to the plane of the loop as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop by the magnetic field is:

$A$ circular coil has a moment of inertia of $0.8 \, kg \cdot m^2$ around any diameter and is carrying a current to produce a magnetic moment of $20 \, A \cdot m^2$. The coil is kept initially in a vertical position and it can rotate freely around a horizontal diameter. When a uniform magnetic field of $4 \, T$ is applied along the vertical,it starts rotating around its horizontal diameter. The angular speed the coil acquires after rotating by $60^{\circ}$ will be:

If $m$ is the magnetic moment and $B$ is the magnetic field,then the torque is given by
