The video tutorial explains how to calculate the maximum torque produced by a square coil with a current flowing through it, when placed in a magnetic field. It covers the use of the right hand rule to determine the direction of force, the calculation of torque using force and lever arm, and the conditions for achieving maximum torque. Additionally, it discusses the concept of magnetic dipole moment and its calculation.
