Question

For the situation shown in the figure(Figure 1) , indicate whether there will be a tendency for the square current loop to rotate clockwise, counterclockwise, or not at all, when viewed from above the loop along the indicated axis

the loop tends to rotate clockwise, as viewed from above

the loops tends to rotate counterclockwise, as viewed from abouve

the loop will not rotate at all

For the situation shown in the figure(Figure 2) , indicate whether there will be a tendency for the square current loop to rotate clockwise, counterclockwise, or not at all, when viewed from above the loop along the indicated axis.

the loop tends to rotate clockwise, as viewed from above

the loops tends to rotate counterclockwise, as viewed from abouve

the loop will not rotate at all

For the situation shown in the figure(Figure 3) , indicate whether there will be a tendency for the square current loop to rotate clockwise, counterclockwise, or not at all, when viewed from above the loop along the indicated axis.

the loop tends to rotate clockwise, as viewed from above

the loops tends to rotate counterclockwise, as viewed from abouve

the loop will not rotate at all

Explanation / Answer

1) the loops tends to rotate counterclockwise, as viewed from abouve

2) the loop tends to rotate clockwise, as viewed from above

3) the loop will not rotate at all

use right hand rule to find force on each segment of the wire. then find torque.

Force on each segment, F = B*I*L*sin(theta) (here theta is the angle between I and B)
