Question
In the figure below, the current in the long, straight wire is \( I_1 = 5.50 \, \text{A} \), and the wire lies in the plane of the rectangular loop, which carries \( 13.4 \, \text{A} \). The dimensions shown are \( c = 0.100 \, \text{m} \), \( a = 0.150 \, \text{m} \), and \( \ell = 0.450 \, \text{m} \). Find the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted by the magnetic field due to the straight wire on the loop.

- **Magnitude:** [Input box for value] N
- **Direction:** [Dropdown menu with directions]

**Diagram Explanation:**
- A long, vertical straight wire carries a current \( I_1 \) upwards.
- A rectangular loop is placed to the right of the wire, carrying a current \( I_2 \) upwards on the side closest to the wire.
- The dimensions of the loop relative to the wire are labeled as \( c \), \( a \), and \( \ell \), representing distances from the wire and sides of the loop.
- \( c \) is the horizontal distance between the wire and the closest side of the loop.
- \( a \) is the distance between the two vertical sides of the loop.
- \( \ell \) is the vertical length of the loop.
