(b) A rectangular loop carrying current lies in the plane of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.040 T. The loop consists of a single turn of flexible conducting wire that is wrapped around a flexible mount such that the dimensions of the rectangle can be changed. (Total length of the wire is not changed). As the edge length x is varied from approximately zero to its maximum value of approximately 6.0cm, the magnitude of the torque t on the loop changes. The maximum value of torquet is 7.2 * 10-8N m. What is the current in the loop?
