Is the magnetic field of a current loop uniform?
A thin conducting wire is bent into the shape shown in the figure. The circular portion of the wire has a radius of 27.0 cm. The wire is in the plane of the screen and carries a current of 3.90 A. What is the magnetic field at the center of the loop? (Give the magnitude in µT and select the direction from the options provided.) Magnitude: µT Direction: ---Select---

A circular loop of wire, of radius $r$, carries current $I$. It is placed in a magnetic field whose straight lines seem to diverge from a point a distance $d$ below the loop on its axis. (That is, the field makes an angle $\theta$ with the loop at all points, Fig. $27-41$ where $\tan \theta=r / d .$ ) Deter- mine the force on the loop.
