Consider a rectangular loop of wire placed in the same plane as a straight wire, as shown in the diagram to the right. A current of 2.00 A runs through the rectangular loop. A current of 8.00 A runs through the wire.

-Does the loop experience a net force? If so, determine the magnitude and the direction of the force? If not, why not? Show your work and explain your reasoning.

-Determine the net magnetic field at point P. Show your work.

-If the current through the straight wire is decreased, would the current through the wire loop change (while the current in the straight wire is decreasing)? If so, would it increase or would it decrease? Show your work and explain your reasoning.
