Chapter 28 Problem 28.72

Question

The long, straight wire AB shown in Fig. P28.72 carries a current of 14.0 A. The rectangular loop whose long edges are parallel to the wire carries a current of 5.00 A. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field of the wire.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

The expression for the magnetic force due to a current carrying wire is given by,

                                                     

Here,  is constant,  and  are the current in the two wires, r is the distance between the two wires, and l is the length of wire.
