b.
directed parallel to the page and upwards.
c.
directed parallel to the page and to the right.
d.
directed parallel to the page and to the left.
e.
in a direction that cannot be determined in this experiment

The figure shows the orientation of a flat circular loop consisting of 50 closely wrapped turns each carrying a current I. The magnetic field in the region is directed in the positive z direction and has a magnitude of 50 mT. The loop can turn about the y axis. If ? = 20°, R = 0.50 m, and I = 12A, what is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop?
A. 8.1 N ? m B. 24 N ? m C. 22 N ? m D. 13 N ? m E. 16 N ? m
