A rectangular current loop partially immersed in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed into the page.
A rectangular current loop partially immersed in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed into the page.
A rigid, rectangular wire loop carries a constant clockwise electric current \(I\). The loop is held fixed in the plane of the page and is positioned such that only its upper half is located within a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed perpendicularly into the page, while its lower half is in a field-free region. Which of the following correctly identifies both the direction of the net magnetic force on the entire loop and the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the right vertical segment of the loop?
