Options:
  • A $F_3-F_1+F_2$
  • B $F_3-F_1-F_2$
  • C $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}$
  • D $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2-F_2^2}$

The correct answer is: $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}$


Since net force on current carrying loop in uniform magnetic field is zero therefore force on remaining segment will be equal and oppsoite to $\mathrm{F}$.
