Question 44





In Figure P29.44, the cube is s = m on each edge. Four straight segments of wire-ab, bc, cd, and da- form a closed loop that carries a current i = A in the direction shown. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude b = T is in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic force vector on
(a) ab,
(b) bc,
(c) cd, and
(d) da.
(e) Explain how you could find the force exerted on the fourth of these segments from the forces on the other three, without further calculation involving the magnetic field.
