Homework Statement
A rectangular coil has 120 turns of wire and is of dimensions 10 cm by 15 cm. The coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field B= 2.6 T such that the field lines make an angle of 33 degrees with the direction normal to the coil.
Calculate the magnitude of the torque on the coil if a current of 1.z A flows through it.
Homework Equations
Torque = (B)(I)(L)(W)sin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not really sure what to do with the dimensions and turns. L is the length of the loop and W is the width. How do I use the information of the 120 turns to find L and W to fit the above equation?
