A wire loop is in a uniform magnetic field as shown. Current flows in the wire loop, as shown. What does the loop do? The loop moves to the right.   The loop moves to the left.   No force is applied to the loop and it does not move.   The loop experiences a torque such that the right side of the loop rotates into the plane of the screen while the left side rotates out of the plane of the screen.
