$A$ rod of mass $M$ and length $l$ is suspended by two wires $P$ and $Q$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ is directed into the page. When current $I$ flows through the rod,the tension in each supporting wire is:

  • A
    $\frac{Mg}{2}$
  • B
    $2BIl$
  • C
    $Mg - BIl$
  • D
    $\frac{Mg - BIl}{2}$
