The figure below shows a long straight wire near a rectangular current loop. The current in the wire is I = 10.0 A and the current in the loop is 1, = 30.0 A. The dimensions of the loop are L = 39.0 cm,w = 13.0 cm, and the distance from the loop to the wire is r = 5.00 cm. Determine the magnitude and direction of the total force on the loop.

♦ Relevant knowledge

If two electrically charged objects are separated from each other. The two bodies will both experience an attraction or repulsive force due to the influence of a different charge, based on the type of charge. This attractive or repulsive force is called the Electric/Electrostatic force. The force’s magnitude can be determined with Coulomb’s Law.
