A current-carrying rectangular wire loop with width a = 0.110 m and length b = 0.215 m is in the xy-plane, supported by a nonconducting, frictionless axle of negligible weight. A current of I = 2.50 A travels counterclockwise in the circuit (see the figure below). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the left, right, top, and bottom segments of wire (in N) by a uniform magnetic field of 0.400 T that points in the positive x-direction. Find the magnitude of the net torque (in N · m) on the loop about the axle.

A rectangular loop of width a and height b is immersed in a uniform, horizontal magnetic field vector B. The x-direction is to the right, the y-direction is up, and the z-direction is out of the page. A vertical axle is attached to the centers of the top and the bottom of the loop, but the axle is not inside the loop. A current I flows counterclockwise through the loop.
