The rectangular loop shown in Fig. 1 consists of 20 closely wrapped turns and is hinged along the z-axis. The plane of the loop makes an angle of 30° with the y-axis, and the current in the windings is 0.5 A. What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop in the presence of a uniform field ? When viewed from above, is the expected direction of rotation clockwise or counterclockwise?
