Torque on a Current Coil (Motor)

Calculate the torque on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field, as in a DC motor or galvanometer, free online.
About this calculator

The torque on a coil is τ = N·I·A·B·sin θ, where θ is the angle between the coil's normal and the field. It is maximum (N·I·A·B) when the coil's plane is parallel to the field. The magnetic potential energy is U = −m·B·cos θ.
