Question

A current - carrying rectangular wire loop with width a = 0.120 m
and length b = 0.200 m is in the xy - plane, supported by a nonconducting,
frictionless axle of negligible weight. A current of  I = 3.00 A travels counterclockwise in the circuit (Fig. P19.38).
Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on
the (a) left and (b) right segments of wire by a uniform magnetic
field of 0.250 T that points in the positive x - direction.
Find the magnetic force exerted on the (c) top and (d) bottom
segments. (e) Find the magnitude of the net torque on the loop
about the axle.
