Question

A rectangular coil consists of 

N = 100

 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions 

a = 0.400 m

 and 

b = 0.300 m.

 The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle 

? = 30.0°

 with the x axis (figure).

A rectangular coil of vertical height a and horizontal length b lies within an x y z coordinate space, where the +x-axis is to the right, the +y-axis is upward, and the +z-axis is out of the page. The bottom side of the coil lies in the first quadrant of the x z plane, and makes an acute angle ? with the +x-axis. The left side of the coil lies along the +y-axis, and the left bottom corner is at the origin. Current I flows clockwise through the coil as viewed from the left. Magnetic field vector B points to the right.
(a) What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field 
B = 0.650 T
 directed in the positive x direction when the current is 
I = 1.20 A
 in the direction shown?
 N · m

(b) If you are looking downward from the positive y direction, what is the expected direction of rotation of the coil?
