Question

The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I = 2.4 A in the wire. There is also a magnetic field B (magnitude = 0.28 T) that is the same everywhere and points in the direction of +z axis. The lengths of the wire segments are LAB = 1.2 m, LBC = 0.6 m, and LCD = 0.6 m. Find the magnitude of the force that acts on each segment.
