Question

A rectangular current-carying loop, which is initially at rest, is in a uniform magnetic field that is directed to the right. In the top view, the current goes clockwise around the loop. The dashed line in the picture is an axis the loop can rotate about. The loop starts out so the normal to the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the field lines. This is the orientation shown in both views below. The magnetic field is 3.0 T. The loop measures 20 cm x 80 cm, and has a current of 2.0 A Determine the magnitude of the net force applied on the loop by the magnetic field, in the initial orientation. a. top view side view Numeric Answer

Explanation / Answer

When a closed loop is placed in constant magnetic field then net force on the loop is always ZERO

so net force on the loop due to this constant field is always ZERO

F = 0 N
