Question: A conducting Current-carrying plane is placed in an external uniform magnetic field. As a result, the magnetic induction becomes equal to B1 on one side

A conducting Current-carrying plane is placed in an external uniform magnetic field. As a result, the magnetic induction becomes equal to B1 on one side of the plane and to B2, on the other. Find the magnetic force acting per unit area of the plane in the cases illustrated in Fig. 3.72. Determine the direction of the current in the plane in each case.
