The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I= 1.7 A in the wire. There is also a magnetic field B (magnitude = 0.19 T) that is the same everywhere and points in the direction of +z axis. The lengths of the wire segments are LAB -1.1 m, LBC = 0.6 m, and LCD = 0.6 m. Find the magnitude of the force that acts on each segment.

A portion of a long, cylindrical coaxial cable is shown in the figure below. An electrical current I = 3.0 amps flows down the center conductor, and this same current is returned in the outer conductor. Assume the current is distributed uniformly over the cross sections of the two parts of the cable. The values of the radii in the figure are r1 = 1.5 mm, r2 = 4.0 mm, and r3 = 7.0 mm.
