Problem

A square loop of side 5.0 cm5.0\,\text{cm} rests flat on a horizontal table. For an observer looking down on the loop, a current of 3.0 A3.0\,\text{A} flows clockwise. A uniform 0.25 T0.25\,\text{T} magnetic field points due east, parallel to the plane of the table. For each of the four sides of the loop, state the direction of the magnetic force. Then state the net magnetic force acting on the entire loop.
