A bent wire is placed into a uniform magnetic field with strength

 

A bent wire is placed into a uniform magnetic field with strength B = .75 mT. The wire is placed in such a way that only two 5 cm lengths of wire are not parallel to the magnetic field. See the figure below. Assuming that the wire carries a current of 3.25 A determine the following: The angle between the wire and magnetic field for the two non-parallel sections. The force (magnitude and direction) on each of these sections of wire due to the magnetic field. . The net force on the wire. B I 4 cm 3 cm
