    Torque = 0.47 Nm

    Explanation:

    Torque = BIAsin∅

    Since the plane is parallel to the magnetic field, ∅ = 90⁰

    sin 90 = 1

    Magnetic field, B = 0.30 T

    current, I = 2.0 A

    Radius, R = 0.50 m

    A = πR²

    A = π (0.5) ² = 0.785 m²

    Torque = 0.3 * 2 * 0.785

    Torque = 0.47 Nm

    The magnetic torque when the plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field is zero.

    Explanation:

    Given;

    radius of wire, r = 0.50 m

    strength of magnetic field, B = 0.3 T

    current in the wire, I = 2.0 A

    Dipole moment, μ = I x A

    where;

    A is the area of the circular loop = πr² = π (0.5) ² = 0.7855 m²

    Dipole moment, μ = 2A x 0.7855m² = 1.571 Am²

    magnetic torque, τ = μBsinθ

    when the plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

    τ = 1.571 Am² x 0.3sin0

    τ = 0

    Therefore, the magnetic torque when the plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field is zero.
