A rectangular coil has sides of length l and width w and carries a current I. The plane of the coil is parallel to a magnetic field of flux density B, as shown.

Rectangular coil between two bar magnets. Coil corners labelled Y (top-left), X (top-right), Z (bottom-left), W (bottom-right). Horizontal top edge YX and bottom edge ZW each have length w; vertical sides YZ and XW each have length l. A bar magnet with N pole faces the coil from the left; another with S pole faces it from the right — so the magnetic field points horizontally from N to S, parallel to YX and ZW. The coil is connected to a battery via a split-ring commutator and brushes.

Which row of the table gives the magnetic force on the named side of the coil?
