Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Diagram Explanation
The image shows a diagram with three rectangular loops labeled (a), (b), and (c). These loops are positioned within a uniform magnetic field, represented by horizontal lines with an arrow pointing to the right. Each loop interacts with the magnetic field differently, which affects the net force and torque exerted on them.
### Text and Instructions
**All loops are identical and carry the same current. (Use only the symbols > or =, for example a = b > c).**
1. **Rank the magnitudes of the net forces acting on the rectangular loops shown below, from highest to lowest.**
- Expected answer: \( c > b > a \)
2. **Rank the magnitudes of the net torques acting on the rectangular loops shown below, from highest to lowest.**
- Expected answer: \( a = b = c \)
### Explanation
- **Net Forces:** The net force on a loop in a magnetic field depends on its orientation and position within the field. Here, loop (c) experiences the greatest net force, followed by loop (b), and then loop (a).
- **Net Torques:** The net torque is influenced by the loop's alignment with the magnetic field. In this case, all loops experience the same net torque, hence \( a = b = c \).
These conceptual evaluations are crucial for understanding magnetic interactions in physical systems.
