Expert Solution
Step 1
Given that, Shape of the Conductor is a circular coil
Magnetic field B at the ring position forms an angle of θ from the vertical position.
Angle that gives magnetic force is θ
Circumference/ Length of the coil,
Step 2
The magnetic force on each part of the ring is
Taking y component from sketch diagram,
Whereas will be zero because in symmetric ring components will be canceled out by the opposite portion.
In that case,
