2.0 cm A wire is bent into the shape shown in the figure and placed in a uniform magnetic field B, directed into the page. The left and right vertical parts are parallel to each other and separated by 2.0 cm. When a current of 10 A passes through the wire, a force of 0.10 N acts on the wire. What is the strength of the uniform magnetic field?
