Hello! Im a lowly highschool physics student and was wondering if anyone could help me out for my studying…

“There is a loop carrying current in a clockwise direction. Assuming there is a magnetic field pointing to the right, describe the magnetic force acting on different points of the loop (top, right side, bottom, left side).”

I’m just confused how the field and current are parallel at certain points? Another version of the question had the field pointing out of the page which made a lot more sense because my fingers actually can bend that way…

Anyways if anyone could help explain this question to me and help me further my conceptual understanding on magnetism i would DEEPLY appreciate it😎😎
