    Loop Torque
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque on a triangular loop in a magnetic field, the discussion highlights the use of the formula F=I L x B for force, noting that the total force on the loop is zero. However, the challenge arises in determining the torque for part (c) of the problem, which remains unresolved. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts and methods for calculating torque on a current-carrying loop. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in the approach to solving the torque calculation. Overall, the thread seeks collaborative assistance in overcoming the difficulties faced in part (c).

hello guys
iam doing my homework in magnetic fields course
and i found this problem i solved (a) and (b)

by using F=I L x B and the total force on the triangular loop would be zero
but in (c) i tried a lot to find the torque on the loop but i couldn't get the same result
so please help me with this :)
Thx guys :)
