Question
Find the force on each segment of the loop below. The current in the circuit, moving in the direction of the arrows, is 2.00 A. There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T pointing to the right in the plane of the paper. What will happen to the loop?

Note that
F = B I L [if the wire is perpendicular to the field]
where the direction is determined by the right hand rule.
Side on the left:
F = 0.042 N, into the page
The top and bottom sides:
They experience 0 FORCE as they are parallel to the field.
For the side on the right:
F = 0.042 N, out of thepage
***************************
The loop will turn, with the right side going to the left.
