A square current loop is positioned between and equidistant from two long, straight wires carrying currents I₁ and I₂ as shown in Figure P20.102. All the wires lie in the same plane, and two sides of the loop are parallel to the long wires. If I₁/I₂ > 1 and the current in the loop is counterclockwise, will the force on the current loop be
(a) to the right,
(b) to the left,
(c) toward the top of the page,
(d) toward the bottom of the page?
