A metal wire of mass m slides without friction on two rails placed at a distance \(\ell\) apart. The track lies in a uniform vertical magnetic field B. A constant current I flows along the rails across the wire and back down the other rail. The acceleration of the wire is
  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{BmI}}{\ell}\)
  2. \(m B I \ell\)
  3. \(\frac{\mathrm{BI} \ell}{\mathrm{~m}}\)
  4. \(\frac{\mathrm{m} \ell \ell}{\mathrm{~B}}\)

Answer

(C) BI ~m
