$A$ rectangular loop of wire,supporting a mass $m$,hangs with one end in a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ pointing into the plane of the paper. $A$ clockwise current $i$ is set up such that $i > mg/Ba$,where $a$ is the width of the loop. Then:

  • A
    The weight descends due to a vertical force caused by the magnetic field.
  • B
    The weight moves towards the right.
  • C
    The weight rises due to a vertical force caused by the magnetic field.
  • D
    None of these.
