Engineering Finding the Total Force on the Circuit Loop

Click For Summary
To find the total force on the circuit loop, the magnetic field generated by the current I1 must be calculated, as it affects the loop carrying current I2. The formula F = I(l x B) is relevant for determining the force on the loop due to the magnetic field. The distance between the wire carrying I1 and the circuit loop is crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding the relationship between the currents and their respective magnetic fields is essential for solving the problem. A clear approach involves first calculating the magnetic field from I1 before applying it to the loop.

Homework Statement


The problem asks to find the Total Force on the Circuit Loop. I have a circuit loop with length 30.0 cm and width 10.0 cm with a current I2= 30.0 A that is flowing counter-clockwise. There is a wire that has the current I1=15.0 A flowing from left to right and is 7.50 cm from the circuit parallel to the long end.

I don't really know where to start. I think it has something to do with magnetic fields and the Hall effect but even with that, I don't know where to begin.

Homework Equations


F=I(lxB)
