In a moving coil galvanometer, the torque on the coil can be expressed as τ=ki, where i is the current through the wire and k is a constant. The rectangular coil of the galvanometer having number of turns N, area A, and moment of inertia I, is placed in magnetic field B. Find the torsional constant of the spring, if a current i0 produces a deflection of π2 in the coil in reaching the equilibrium position.
