A rectangular current loop in a uniform magnetic field feels a torque. What is the net force on the loop?

1. Current runs one way along one side of the loop and the opposite way along the other side. 2. Right hand rule 1 then gives forces on the two sides that are equal in size and opposite in direction. 3. Those forces cancel, so the net force from the sides is zero. 4. The forces on the top and bottom segments are also equal and opposite, so they cancel as well. 5. The two side forces still act at different places, so they leave a torque even though the net force vanishes. _Source: OpenStax College Physics (CC BY 4.0), Ch 22 "Magnetism", section 22.8 Torque on a Current Loop: Motors and Meters_
