A very long horizontal wire carries a current I1=15 A that flows to the right in the xy plane. The wire is located at a distance d=10 m below the x-axis. A second wire, also in the xy plane, is bent into a square loop and carries a current I2=12 A flowing clockwise. The square loop measures h=0.6 m on each side, and its bottom edge is located at a distance d=10 m above the x-axis. Determine the total magnetic force F exerted by the long wire on the square loop. Your answer should be a vector with magnitude and direction. What is the net magnetic field Bnet at the origin? Your answer should be a vector with magnitude and direction. Hint: you can assume that h≪d. An electron traveling with constant velocity v=<5000,0,0>m/s passes through the origin. How will its trajectory be affected by Bnet ? To get full credit you must say what direction, if any, it gets deflected towards, and briefly explain your reasoning.
