As shown in the figure, a current loop is carrying current /1 = 5.0 A, in the direction shown, and is located near a long wire carrying a current Iw. The long wire is parallel to the sides of the rectangle. The rectangle loop has length 0.80 m and its sides are 0.10 m and 0.70 m from the wire, as shown. We measure that the net force on the rectangular loop is 6.0 x 106 N and is directed towards the wire.(40 = 4n × 10-7 T • m/A). (a)Explain the behavior of the magnetic field around the loop including its direction (b) What is the direction of the force they exert on one another? (c) Calculate the magnitude of the current Iw? (d) In which direction does Iw flow from top to bottom or from bottom to top in the sketch?
