What is the net force on a rectangular loop near a long straight conductor?

In summary, the force on a rectangular loop is the result of the interaction between the magnetic field and the electric current flowing through the loop. It can be calculated using the formula F = I × L × B and is affected by the strength and direction of the magnetic field, the current, and the dimensions of the loop. The direction of the force is determined by the right-hand rule and will change in both magnitude and direction if the loop is rotated.

What is force on a rectangular loop?

The force on a rectangular loop is the result of the interaction between the magnetic field and the electric current flowing through the loop.

How is the force on a rectangular loop calculated?

The force on a rectangular loop can be calculated using the formula F = I × L × B, where F is the force in Newtons, I is the current in amperes, L is the length of the loop, and B is the magnetic field strength in teslas.

What factors affect the force on a rectangular loop?

The force on a rectangular loop is affected by the strength and direction of the magnetic field, the current flowing through the loop, and the dimensions of the loop.

What is the direction of the force on a rectangular loop?

The direction of the force on a rectangular loop is determined by the right-hand rule. If the current is flowing in the same direction as the magnetic field, the force will be attractive. If the current is flowing in the opposite direction, the force will be repulsive.

How does the force on a rectangular loop change if the loop is rotated?

If the rectangular loop is rotated, the force will change in both magnitude and direction. The force will be greatest when the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field and will be zero when the loop is parallel to the field.
