The loop is placed in a constant magnetic field of magnitude B that points at 30° from the z -axis. If the loop has a radius of 10 meters, carries a current of 2 amps, and the magnitude of the magnetic field is B Tesla, then the magnitude of the torque on the loop is given by AT Newton-meters What is the value of a if B = 10 Tesla?
