Question

A square loop of wire is oriented in a 12-tesla magnetic field directed to the left as shown.

The loop has a side length of 30 cm. At time t = 0, the loop is connected to a battery that results in 4 amps of current traveling counter-clockwise through the loop. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net torque acting on the loop the instant after the battery is connected. For the direction, imagine that you are looking at the loop from above.
