A square loop carrying current I in a uniform magnetic field B.
A square loop carrying current I in a uniform magnetic field B.
A square loop of wire with side length \(L\) lies flat in the plane of the page and carries a constant clockwise current \(I\). A uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) is directed to the right, parallel to the plane of the loop. Let \(F_1\), \(F_2\), \(F_3\), and \(F_4\) represent the magnitudes of the magnetic forces exerted on the top, right, bottom, and left sides of the loop, respectively. Which of the following correctly compares these force magnitudes?
