A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm lies in a vertical plane between the pole pieces of permanent magnet producing a horizontal magnetic field 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 x × 10 - 5 Nm . The value of x is
