A current of /= 1.50 A travels counterclockwise in the circuit (see the figure below). A uniform magnetic field of B= 0.5 T points in the positive x-direction. 1) Find the magnitude of the net torque (in N-m) on the loop about the axle. 2) If the loop rotates counterclockwise 30 degrees about the axis, what is the new magnitude of the net torque?
