The diagram below depicts a rectangular wire loop of width a = 14.5 cm and height b = 7.35 cm, that is connected to a current source that when turned on, gives rise to a current I = 0.25 A in the wire. The loop is suspended in a uniform magnetic field B = 0.85 T that points in a vertical direction as shown in the diagram, and it would hang vertically if there were no current in the wire. We assume that the wire is massless, but tw masses m = 8.85 g are suspended at the lower corners. B Pivot m m 8 What is the angle, e, at which the loop is in equilibrium?
