Magnetic Field Produced by Straight Currents
29. Sources of Magnetic Field / Magnetic Field Produced by Straight Currents / Problem 5
Consider the two conductors given in the diagram. The length and width of the loop are 6.0 cm and 4.0 cm, respectively. This loop carries a direct current of magnitude of 5.0 Amps. The second conductor is an infinitely long wire with a direct current of 15 Amps. Compute the net force and torque exerted by the infinitely long wire over the rectangular loop.
