Question: ( 3 0 points ) The electric motor. A copper wire square with sides of length b is placed in a uniform magnetic field B

(30 points) The electric motor.
A copper wire square with sides of length b is placed in a uniform magnetic field B along the x-axis as shown in the figure. The square is free to rotate around the y axis. The wire has cross sectional area A and contains free charges q at density n(m^(-3)) moving with constant speed v.
a) What is the current density j in the wire?
b) What is the current I in the wire?
c) What is the magnitude f of the Lorentz force on each charge carrier?
d) What is the magnitude and direction of the total Lorentz force F on each side of the square? Show force directions on the figure.
e) What is the torgue N around the y axis on each side of the square? What is the total torque N_("tot ")?(This torque keeps the wire square rotating around the y axis.)
Please do d) and show it. Explain in details
