Question

A rectangular loop of wire of dimensions 10.396 cm x 16.47 cm is near a long straight wire. One of the short sides of the rectangle is parallel to the straight wire and at a distance of 24.226 cm; the long sides are perpendicular to the straight wire. A current of 53.779 A flows on the straight wire, and a current of 121.164 A flows around the loop. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic force, in microNewtons, that the straight wire exerts on the loop?

Answer 1

Given:

The short side of rectangle is: S = 10.396 cm

The long side of rectangle is: L = 16.47 cm

The current in the rectangular loop is: I = 121.164 A

The current in the straight wire is: i = 53.779 A

The distance between the straight wire and the shortest side parallel to the wire is: R = 24.226 cm

To find:
