The figure shows a conducting loop $ADCA$ carrying current $i$ and placed in a region of uniform magnetic field $B_0$. The part $ADC$ forms a semicircle of radius $R$. The magnitude of the force on the semicircular part of the loop is equal to

$A$ straight wire is placed in a magnetic field that varies with distance $x$ from the origin as $\vec{B} = B_0 \left( 2 - \frac{x}{a} \right) \hat{k}$. The ends of the wire are at $(a, 0)$ and $(2a, 0)$ and it carries a current $I$ in the positive $x$-direction. If the force on the wire is $\vec{F} = IB_0 \left( \frac{ka}{2} \right) \hat{j}$,then the value of $k$ is:
