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.

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.
