A square loop of side \(2\, a ,\) and carrying current I, is kept in \(XZ\) plane with its centre at origin. A long wire carrying the same current \(I\) is placed parallel to the \(z-\)axis and passing through the point \((0, b, 0),(b>>a)\). The magnitude of the torque on the loop about \(z-\)axis is given by:
