Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Top views of a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field.
(a) The equation for torque is derived using this view. Note that the perpendicular to the loop makes an angle θ with the field that is the same as the angle between w/2 and F.
(b) The maximum torque occurs when θ is a right angle and sinθ=1.
(c) Zero (minimum) torque occurs when θ is zero and sinθ=0.
(d) The torque reverses once the loop rotates past θ=0.
