I have given the design of an experiment that tests the predictions of the Lorentz force law and the differential Ampere's force law. The predicted outcome of the experiment is a single-humped curve for the Lorentz force law and double-humped curve for the differential Ampere's force law. This difference of curve's shape is dependent on the coil's dimension. To avoid the confusion that the curve is always single-humped for the Lorentz force law and double-humped for the differential Ampere's force law, I give here the numerical results for coils of 4 different dimensions. The calculation method is described in the article
