Question

In the figure below, the current in the long, straight wire is

I₁ = 8.40 A

and the wire lies in the plane of the rectangular loop, which carries a current

I₂ = 10.0 A.

The dimensions in the figure are

c = 0.100 m,

a = 0.150 m,

and

ℓ = 0.720 m.

Find the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field created by the wire.

magnitude	µN
direction	---Select--- upward downward to the left to the right into the page out of the page

Two current-carrying wires lie side by side. The wire on the left is vertical and current I₁ flows upward through it. The wire on the right is a rectangular loop with length a and height ℓ. Current I₂ runs clockwise through the loop. The left wire is a distance c from the left side of the rectangular loop.

Answer 1

In both the wire the current flow in same direction and we know that when parallel wire placed side by side flowing same direction current, the exerted force will be attractive in nature. The detail answer is as follow-
