Three loops are viewed from the side and are immersed in a magnetic field pointing to the right.

The plane of the leftmost loop is perpendicular to the field. The current at the topmost point of the loop points out of the page, and the current at the bottommost point of the loop points into the page.

The plane of the loop immediately to the right of the first loop is at an acute clockwise angle with respect to the field. The current at the topmost point of the loop points out of the page, and the current at the bottommost point of the loop points into the page.

The plane of the rightmost loop is parallel to the planes of the field lines. The current at the leftmost point of the loop points out of the page, and the current at the rightmost point of the loop points into the page.

Consider the following figure. a b C Rank the magnitudes of the torques acting on the rectangular loops (a), (b), and (c) shown edge-on in the figure above from highest to lowest. All loops are identical and carry the same current. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) Rank the magnitudes of the net forces acting on the rectangular loops shown in the figure above from highest to lowest. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)
