Radial magnetic field is needed to maximize the torque...As torque = NBAsin(theta)
In uniform magnetic field , Torque on a coil will vary if it rotates at an certain angle...or we change Theta i.e, angle between B and A..then we get variation in Torque..but By Creating Radial Magbetic field...angle between B and A is costant and equal to 90 degree...and we know that sin 90 = 1 so torque on a coil becomes NBA...
So here Torque become independent of Theta...which mean no matter if you rotate coil in radial magnetic field , The angle between B and A remain constant i.,e 90 which is not in the case of uniform magnetic field...
This is why Radial magnetic field is required...and such magnetic fields are produced by Using U-Shaped magnets...
