Question

The long, straight wire AB shown in (Figure 1) carries a current of 14.0 A. The rectangular loop whose long edges are parallel to the wire carries a current of 5.00 A.
A) Find the magnitude of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field of the wire. Express your answer in newtons.
B) Find the direction of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field of the wire.

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, the magnitude of the net force is 7.97 × 10 − 5 N and the direction of the net force is away from the straight wire.
