Homework Statement
A narrow flat coil wound on a square frame has 160 turns and sides of 34.0 cm. It carries a current of 5.30 A and is positioned in a 0.260- T magnetic field. What is the maximum torque that can be exerted by the field on the coil?
Homework Equations
Torque = (Number of turns)(Area)(Magnetic Field)(sin of the angle)
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated the torque using the above information and assuming that the angle was 90 because it was a square. I think my reasoning with the 90 degrees angle is incorrect. For my answer I got, 480.9 J.
