Question

The bent wire circuit shown in the figure (Figure 1) is in a region of space with a uniform magnetic field in the +z direction. Current flows through the circuit in the direction indicated. Note that segments 2 and 5 are oriented parallel to the z axis; the other pieces are parallel to either the x or y axis.

Part A

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 1, which carries current in the -x direction.

Enter the direction of the force as a sign (+ or -) followed by a coordinate direction (x, y, or z) without spaces. For instance, if you think that the force points in the positive y direction, enter +y. If there is no magnetic force, enter 0.

Part B

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 2, which carries current in the -z direction.

Part C

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 3, which carries current in the +y direction.

Part D

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 4, which carries current in the +x direction.

Part E

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 5, which carries current in the +z direction.

Part F

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 6, which carries current in the +x direction.

Part G

Determine the direction of the magnetic force along segment 7, which carries current in the -y direction.
