Problem 8: The long straight wire carries a current I, (directed to the right) and the rectangular loop carries a current 2 (counterclockwise). Recall, a long current carrying wire produces a magnetic field Bong straight wire Ho I 2л г I a 1 4 2 3 L (a) On the figure above, indicate the direction of the force on each segment of the rectangular loop due to the long current carrying wire. The forces act inward on each segment of wire (anti-parallel currents repel one another). (b.) Does the current in the long wire result in a net force on the rectangular loop? If so, describe the subsequent motion of the rectangular loop. Because the force on the top wire is stronger than the force on the bottom wire the loop accelerates away from the long wire.
