$A$ thin uniform rod with negligible mass and length $l$ is attached to the floor by a frictionless hinge at point $P$. $A$ horizontal spring with force constant $k$ connects the other end to a wall. The rod is in a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed into the plane of the paper. What is the extension in the spring in equilibrium when a current $i$ is passed through the rod in the direction shown? Assume the spring is initially at its natural length.

  • A
    $\frac{5ilB}{8k}$
  • B

  • C
    $\frac{5ilB}{4k}$
  • D
    $\frac{5ilB}{6k}$
