Refer to diagram 3.
An "infinite" wire lies along the x-axis carrying current /1 = 512 A in the +x-direction. A rectangular loop
of wire (length a = 74.4 cm, width b = 54.9 cm) lies in the x-y plane and carries current /2 = 854 A
counter-clockwise. Loop side a is parallel to the x-axis and distance d = 3.72 cm from it.
Find F, the net force in N, exerted by the wire on the current loop. The sign will indicate if F is in the
positive or the negative y-direction.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Force on a current carrying conductor in magnetic field:

A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. It behaves like a magnet exerts a force when a magnet is placed in its magnetic field. A magnet also exerts equal and opposite force in the conductor.

Direction of this force is determined using Flemings left hand rule.

When a current element is placed in a magnetic field $\overset{⇀}{B}$ , it experiences a force

$\overset{⇀}{d F} = I \overset{⇀}{d l} \times \overset{⇀}{B}$
