• Why??
– Path is circle !
• Force is perpendicular to the velocity
• Force produces centripetal acceleration
• Particle moves with uniform circular
motion

Magnetic force on side A is down, on side C is up
Question (24): What current would be required to produce a maximum 16 N.m torque on a square loop of wire with
sides of length 16.0 m placed inside a magnetic field with magnitude 4.0 T?
