When electrons in a wire flow through a magnetic field as shown right, the wire is forced upward. Suppose a wire loop is instead placed in the magnetic field, as below.

Assuming that fringing field lines can be neglected, and that a uniform magnetic field exists between the magnet's poles, the loop will tend to

1. rotate clockwise

2. rotate counterclockwise

3. do nothing
