The rectangular conducting coil with 8 turns shown below lies in the xy-plane where there exists a uniform external magnetic field of B (2.00) Teslas pointing in the positive y direction. The current in the coil is 5.00 Amps in the clockwise direction as shown. (a) Calculate the magnetic dipole moment (magnitude and direction) of the coil. I-5 Amps reference directions 3m 4m But=2T (b) Calculate the torque (magnitude and direction) on the coil exerted by the uniform external magnetic field. (c) Calculate the magnetic potential energy of the coil in the position shown in the diagram.
