A rectangular coil ABCD contains 220 turns of wire and is placed between the poles of a magnet. The coil can rotate about an axis through its center. When the current through the coil is 110 mA, the maximum moment or torque produced in the coil is 1.7 x 10^-3 N m.
(a) The plane of the coil is parallel to the magnetic field in figure 3 above.
i. Calculate the magnitude of the force on side AB of the coil.
