Question
A magnetic field exerts a torque on each of the current-carrying double loops. The loops lay in xy-plane, each carry the same current I and the uniform magnetic field points to positive x-direction. Calculate the torques for each of the current loops.
So far this is what i have:
= BIAN sin and = IAN
the first loop was a rectangle and I already calculated the area which is 6m2
second loop is a trapezoid and the area is 8m2
third loop is a triangle and the area is 3 m2
now since they all have the same B, I, and N would the total torque be just the areas of the loops?
(because there are no other given values)
