As shown in the figure,a wire is bent to form a $D$-shaped loop carrying current $I$,where the curved part is a semi-circle of radius $R$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$,which is directed into the plane of the paper. The net magnetic force on the closed loop is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $IRB$
  • C
    $2 IRB$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} IRB$

$A$ 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:
