A rectangular loop (shown below) with a length of 20 cm and a width of 15 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 0.27 A counterclockwise around the loop when viewed from the positive x-axis. A horizontal (parallel to the x-z plane) magnetic field of magnitude 0.049 T is oriented at an angle of 65° relative to the perpendicular to the loop and from the positive x-axis, i.e. a = 65°. Find the magnitude of the torque on the loop. x-z plane B'
