The figure below shows the north and south poles of a permanent magnet in which an $n$-turn coil of cross-sectional area $A$ is placed. When a current $i$ is passed through the coil,the plane of the coil makes an angle $\theta$ with respect to the direction of the magnetic field $B$. The torque on the coil is:

Four wires each of length $2.0 \, m$ are bent into four loops $P$,$Q$,$R$ (labeled as $P$ in the image,but distinct),and $S$ and then suspended in a uniform magnetic field. The same current is passed through each loop. Which statement is correct?

$A$ coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side $10 \, cm$ lies in a vertical plane between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet producing a horizontal magnetic field of $20 \, mT$. The torque acting on the coil when a current of $0.2 \, A$ is passed through it and its plane becomes parallel to the magnetic field will be $\sqrt{x} \times 10^{-5} \, Nm$. The value of $x$ is ..... .
