Q. A wire ABCDEF with each side of length ' l ' bent as shown in figure and carrying a current I. If it is placed in a uniform magnetic field B which is parallel to +y direction. Magnetic force experienced by the wire is:-

1 .   B I l ,   a l o n g   +   z   d i r e c t i o n 2 .   2 B I l ,   a l o n g   +   z   d i r e c t i o n 3 .   B I l ,   a l o n g   -   z   d i r e c t i o n 4 .   2 B I l ,   a l o n g   -   z   d i r e c t i o n
 

Dear Student ,
Net magnetic force on a current wire of any shape ,placed in an uniform magnetic field is equal to the magnetic force on a straight wire joining the end points .So net force on the given wire will be equal to the force on an imaginary wire FA having current I from F to A F=I (Li )×(Bj)=ILBkso the correct answer is ILB positive Z
Option (1) is correct 
Regards
