The following current loop forms a right-angled triangle. The loop lies in the plane of your screen and has a (conventional) current travelling clockwise around the loop. The loop lies in a uniform magnetic field which is directed horizontally towards the right. If the loop was initially at rest and floating in space and was free to move in any way whatsoever, how would it move? Choose the correct answer from the following options.

Options:
a) The triangle would remain still.
b) The triangle would start moving to the right.
c) The triangle would start moving to the left.
d) The triangle would start moving up.
e) The triangle would start moving down.
f) The triangle would start out of the screen (towards you).
g) The triangle would start into the screen (away from you).
