Question

Problem 8 A straight wire of length 1m and mass 25g is suspended in a magnetic field B=0.75 T that is directed out of the plane of the paper. The wire is connected to a battery. How much current must flow in the wire and in what direction so that the wire is suspended and the tension in the supporting wires is zero? (10pts)
