Question

A current-carrying rectangular wire loop with width a = 0.115 m and length b = 0.220 m is in the xy-plane, supported by a nonconducting, frictionless axle of negligible weight. A current of I = 3.50 A travels counterclockwise in the circuit (see the figure below). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the left, right, top, and bottom segments of wire (in N) by a uniform magnetic field of 0.400 T that points in the positive x-direction. Find the magnitude of the net torque (in N · m) on the loop about the axis. (a) left segment of the wire magnitude N direction (b) right segment of the wire magnitude N direction (c) top segment magnitude N direction (d) bottom segment magnitude N direction (e) Find the magnitude of the net torque on the loop about the axle.
