There is a current I flowing in a clockwise direction in a square loop of wire that is in the plane of the paper. If the magnetic field B is toward the right, and if each side of the loop has length L, then the net magnetic force acting on the loop is:

a. 2ILB

b. ILB

c. IBL2

d. Zero

According to Faraday, the net force acting on a conductor is equal to product of magnetic field, current, length of conductor and sine of the angle between the field and current.

F = BILsinΦ

Where:

B is magnetic field

I is current in the loop

L is length of the loop

Φ is the angle between the magnetic field and current

Φ = 0, since the current and magnetic field are directed in opposite directions.

F = BILsin(0)

F = 0

Therefore, the net magnetic force acting on the loop is zero.

The correct answer is (d) Zero
