Question

The attached picture shows a rectanguar loop of conducting wire with a current I is placed n external uniform magentic field. The current is moving in clockwise direction.

What is the direction of the magnetic force on the TOP segment of the loop where the current is moving in +x direction?

### Diagram Explanation
The image shows a rectangular circuit with arrows indicating the direction of the current and the magnetic field:

- The magnetic field (\( \vec{B} \)) is depicted by purple lines running horizontally from left to right across the entire diagram.
- A current (\( I \)) is flowing through the rectangular wire loop in a clockwise direction. 
- The top and bottom segments of the loop run parallel to the direction of the magnetic field.

**Options:**
a. Left (-x direction)

b. Right (+x direction)

c. Down (-y direction)

d. Up (+y direction)

e. Into the page

f. Out of the page

g. The force is zero on the TOP wire segment
