Circular Loop A circular loop of wire having a radius of $8.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ carries a current of $0.20$ A. A vector of unit length and parallel to the dipole moment $\vec{\mu}$ of the loop is given by $0.60 \hat{i}-0.80 \hat{j}$. If the loop is located in a uniform magnetic field given by $\vec{B}=$ $(0.25 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(0.30 \mathrm{~T}) \mathrm{k}$, find (a) the torque on the loop (in unitvector notation) and (b) the magnetic potential energy of the loop.
