Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic field acting perpendicularly to its axis of rotation. Coil 1 has a radius of 3.8 cm and rotates in a 0.27-T field. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.33-T field. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2?

Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic field acting perpendicularly to its axis of rotation. Coil 1 has a radius of 5.9 cm and rotates in a 0.23-T field. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.41-T field. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2? (2 decimal places)
