5PRACTICE PROBLEM
A long current-carrying conductor oriented parallel to the y-axis lies in a perpendicular magnetic field given by B = B0y2/L k̂ for the interval 0 < y < L. B is zero outside these limits. A current, I, flows through the conductor in the positive y-direction. Derive an equation for torque on the conductor about the point y = 0.
