Expert Solution
Step 1

Standard expression for the magnetic force (F) experience by the wire of length (L) kept in an external magnetic field (B) is,

F=I×L×B

Here,

denotes the current flow through the wire.

is the magnetic force such that F is acting in the direction perpendicular to plane of and B.
