A Wire in the Shape of an "M" Lies in the Plane

Question 30

Multiple Choice

A wire in the shape of an "M" lies in the plane of the paper. It carries a current of 2.0 A2.0 \mathrm {~A} , flowing from AA to E\mathrm { E } . It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.85 T0.85 \mathrm {~T} in the same plane, directed as shown on the right side of the figure. The figure indicates the dimensions of the wire. Note that ABA B is parallel to DED E and to the baseline from which the magnetic field direction is measured. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on this wire?
