$A$ uniform magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{-3} \ T$ acts along the positive $Y$-direction. $A$ rectangular loop of sides $20 \ cm$ and $10 \ cm$ carrying a current of $5 \ A$ is placed in the $Y-Z$ plane. The current flows in an anticlockwise sense with reference to the negative $X$-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the torque.
