Using the right-hand rule, we find that

each of the four wire segments will

Look at the north pole: here the

magnetic field points to the rightright and

the current points out of the pageout of the page.

The right-hand rule says that the force

must point upup. At the south pole, the

same logic leads to a downwarddownward force.

Thus the loop rotates clockwiseclockwise.
