JEE MainPhysicsToughMagnetism

A 100 turns closely wound current carrying coilof radius 10 cm
is placed in a vertical plane. Thecoil carries a current of 3.2 A and

free to rotateabout a horizontal axis which coincides with itsdiameter.

A uniform horizontal magnetic field of2 Tesla exists in the region. Due

to magnetic torquecoil starts rotating. The angular velocity in

rad/secof the coilwhen it has rotated by
π2\frac{\pi}{2} is 10n. Find n.
