Question

The force on the rectangular loop of wire in the magnetic field as shown can be used to measure field strength. The field is uniform, and the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the field.                                                                      (a) What is the direction of the magnetic force on the loop? Justify the claim that the forces on the sides of the loop are equal and opposite, independent of how much of the loop is in the field and do not affect the net force on the loop.
(b) If a current of 5.00 A is used, what is the force per tesla on the 20.0-cm-wide loop?
