Problem

A long straight wire carries a current

I_{1} = 20\,\text{A}

. A rectangular loop carrying current

I_{2} = 10\,\text{A}

is placed in the same plane with its longer side

L = 0.5\,\text{m}

parallel to the straight wire. The width of the loop is

w = 0.1\,\text{m}

, and the side nearest to the straight wire is at a distance

d = 0.05\,\text{m}

. Calculate the magnitude of the net magnetic force acting on the loop.
