Question
When LM is aligned horizontally $\left(\mathrm{L}_1-\mathrm{M}_1\right)$, what is the direction of the magnetic force on:a side Lb side M?
Step 1
We have a current-carrying wire segment LM that is aligned horizontally, with L and M representing the ends of the wire. The current flows from L to M. Show more…

y(m) 10 8 6 4 2 x(m) 2 4 6 8 10 Figure 1 In Fig. 1, a square loop with side-length L = 8 m and a clockwise current I = 2 A is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is directed into the page. The magnitude of the magnetic field varies linearly with respect to the position as B(x) = x (in Tesla per meter unit). Find (a) the magnetic force (direction and magnitude) acting on the left segment of the loop. (b) the magnetic force (direction and magnitude) acting on the right segment of the loop. (c) the net magnetic force (direction and magnitude) acting on the entire sqaure loop.
The rectangular loop of wire is being moved downward at constant velocity. A constant current I flows in the long wire in the direction shown. What are the directions of the magnetic forces on the left-hand (L) and right-hand (R) sides of the loop? L: to the right; R: to the right L: to the left; R: to the left L: to the left; R: to the right L: to the right; R: to the left there is no force
What is the direction of the magnetic field that produces the magnetic force shown on the currents in each of the three cases, assuming $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}$ is perpendicular to $$I ?$$
