As we learn

Tangent Galvanometer -

B=B_{H}tan\Theta B=\frac{\mu _{o}ni}{2r}=B_{\mu tan\Theta } =k\:tan\Theta

- wherein

K=\frac{2rB_H}{\mu_0N}

r=radius of coil

\Theta =Angle made by needle

 

  i=\frac{2rBH}{\mu_oN}\tan\theta 

\Rightarrow i=\frac{2\times 15\times 10^{-2}\times 3 \times 10^{-5}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 25}\times\tan45^0 

\Rightarrow i = 0.29 A
