The long straight wire carries current I1 as shown in the figure below. The rectangular loop has long edges parallel to the long wire and carries current I2. What is the direction of the magnetic force that the long straight wire exerts on the part of the loop?
Added by Gabriel W.
Step 1
First, we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field created by the long straight wire carrying current I1. We can use the right-hand rule for this. Point your thumb in the direction of the current (upwards) and curl your fingers around the wire. The Show more…
