As coil is parallel to magnetic field, the Area vector or Magnetic Moment is perpendicular to magnetic field i.e., \theta= 90^{0}

Torque applied due to magnetic field when angle between magnetic moment and magnetic field \theta is

\tau = MB\sin \theta= NIAB\sin \theta

\\N=500 turns \\A=3\times 10^{-4}m^{2} \\\tau_{external} = 1.5Nm \\I=0.5A

\\\tau =1.5= 500\times 0.5\times 3\times 10^{-4}B\sin \90^{0} \\B=20 T
