Shown in the figure is a closed wire loop. The loop consists of a straight section and a semicircular section of radius 50 cm. The loop (as drawn) is parallel to the plane 3x+4y =7 and carries a current of 38.2 mA counter-clockwise. The loop sits in free space, inside of a magnetic field intensity of 1194 âx + 2388 ŷ A/m . Determine the torque on the loop, and if the loop is free to move, describe the direction(s) in which it moves.
