A current loop lies in the \(x y\) plane, with the current circulating counterclockwise when viewed from the positive \(z\) axis. Is there a torque on the loop, and if so, in what direction, if a uniform magnetic field is applied along the positive \((a) x\) axis, \((b) y\) axis, and \((c) z\) axis?
