Electromotive force and Lorenz Force HELP

[dilasluis]

If I have a rectangular coil with no current flowing on it traveling at a velovity v; and I have an infinetely long wire with a constante current i on the same plane of the rectangular coil which velocity v is perpendicular to the wire, is the lorenz force equal to zero because I have only electromotive force?

That's a little complicated. The induced EMF will set up a current in the loop and that will interact with the primary magnetic field (from the wire). The primary effect will be torque acting on the loop but gradients in the applied field will yield a net force on the loop.

The Lorenz force is not equal to zero in this scenario because the presence of a constant current in the wire will create a magnetic field, which will interact with the moving coil. This interaction will result in a Lorenz force, which is the force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field. The electromotive force, on the other hand, is the force that drives the current in the circuit and is caused by the motion of the coil in the magnetic field. Therefore, both forces will be present and will have different effects on the system. The exact magnitude and direction of the Lorenz force will depend on the specific dimensions and velocities of the coil and wire, but it will not be equal to zero in this scenario.
