28. Magnetic Fields and Forces / Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Wire / Problem 16

A segment of a long current-carrying conductor is placed within a uniform 0.340 T magnetic field, pointing directly out of the plane of the page. The conductor makes two right-angle turns and is positioned as shown in the figure. A current of I = 5.00 A flows within the conductor. What are i) the magnitude and ii) the direction of the magnetic force acting on the conductor due to the magnetic field?
