flat circular coil carrying a current of 8.80 A has a magnetic dipole moment of 0.194 A*m^2 to the left. Its area vector A is 4.0 cm^2 to the left. (a) How many turns does the coil have? (b) An observer is on the coil's axis to the left of the coil and is looking toward the coil. Does the observer see a clockwise or counterclockwise current? (c) If a huge 45.0 T external magnetic field directed out of the paper is applied to the coil, what torque (magnitude and direction) results?
