Question
**Problem Statement:**

A square current loop 4.50 cm on each side carries a 490 mA current. The loop is in a 1.50 T uniform magnetic field. The axis of the loop, perpendicular to the plane of the loop, is 30° away from the field direction.

**Question (Part A):**

What is the magnitude of the torque on the current loop?

Express your answer in newton-meters to three significant figures.

**Input Box:**

There is a box provided to enter the value of torque (τ) in newton-meters (Nm).

Step 1

Given data: 

A square current loop

Side length (s) = 4.50 cm = 4.50×10-2 m

Current (A) = 490 mA = 0.490 A

Magnetic field (B) = 1.50 T

The angle between area vector and magnetic field vector (θ) = 30°

Required:

The magnitude of the torque on the current loop
