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 part of the loop where the current is moving in +x direction

The image depicts a diagram with a square loop placed in a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field (\( \vec{B} \)) is denoted by purple crosses, indicating it is directed into the page. The square loop carries a current \( I \) and is oriented as follows: the current flows to the right on the top segment, downward on the right segment, to the left on the bottom segment, and upward on the left segment.

Below the diagram, there is a multiple-choice question asking for the direction of the force on the top wire segment of the loop due to the magnetic field. The options given are:

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

This setup is commonly used to demonstrate the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields, illustrating the principle of the Lorentz force.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Concept

Whenever a current-carrying conductor/loop is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force which can be determined using Fleming's left-hand rule.

According to Fleming's left-hand rule,

Stretch the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your left hand, perpendicular to each other such that the middle finger gives the direction of the current, the index finger gives the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will indicate the direction of the force acting on the conductor
