Question

please answer a, b and c

2. In the figure below, a rectangular loop of wire
is immersed in an external magnetic field Bo
pointing to the right.
c) If the loop were not held fixed in place, what
would be the net effect of the forces on each
segment of the loop?
d) What torque does segment 1 of the loop
experience? (Consider the magnetic force on
the segment to act at the midpoint of the
segment, and take the torque about the center
of the loop.)
e) Answer the same question for segments 2, 3,
and 4. In each case, consider the magnetic
force on the segment to act at the midpoint of
the segment, and take torques about the
center of the loop.
The loop carries current io in the clockwise
direction, and is held fixed in place.
) What is the net torque on the loop about its
center? Give the magnitude and direction.
a) How large is the force exerted on segment 1 of
the loop by the external magnetic field? In
which direction does it point?
g) Now compute the torque on the loop using the
standard formula ton koop = pxB, where u = iA
is the magnetic moment of the loop. Does
your answer from part () agree, in both
magnitude and direction?
b) Answer the same questions for segments 2, 3,
and 4.
