16. (a) A 200-turn circular loop of radius $50.0 cm$ is vertical, with its axis on an east-west line. A current of $100 A$ circulates clockwise in the loop when viewed from the east. Earth's field here is due north, parallel to the ground, with a strength of $3.0 \times 1 0^{? 5} T$ . What are the direction and magnitude of the torque on the loop? (b) Does this device have any practical applications as a motor?
