Consider a rectangular wire loop hanging from a scale above a long straight wire that is fixed along the x-axis as shown in the figure below. When there is no current flowing in the wires, the loop weighs 4.00 mN. If a current equal to iwire = 20.0 A begins flowing in the wire in the positive a direction and a current equal to loop = 18.0 A begins flowing clockwise around the loop, then what is the reading on the scale after the currents begin to flow? The dimensions of the loop are ad x ab = 35.0 cm x 62.0 cm and the distance between the wire and loop segment ab is 4.00 cm. ty iloop + +x a iwire
