A rectangular loop of wire of size carries a steady current of . A straight long wire carrying current is kept near the loop as shown in Figure. If the loop and the wire are coplanar, find (i) the torque acting on the loop and (ii) the magnitude and direction of the force on the loop due to the current carrying wire.
