The infinite, straight wire shown in the accompanying figure carries a current $I_{1} .$ The rectangular loop, whose long sides are parallel to the wire, carries a current $I_{2}$ What are the magnitude and direction of the force on the rectangular loop due to the magnetic field of the wire?

Step 1
According to the right-hand rule, if you point your right thumb in the direction of the current, your fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field. So, the magnetic field circles around the wire. Show more…
