Question:

A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and area of cross-section 1.5×10^–4 m^2 carries a current of 2.0 A. It is suspended through its centre and perpendicular to its length, allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane in a uniform magnetic field 5×10^–2 tesla making an angle of 30 with the axis of the solenoid. The torque on the solenoid will be
