$A$ wire carrying a current $I$ is placed inside a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = -B_0 \hat{k}$. The shape of the wire is parabolic and has the equation $y = 2x - x^2$. The force on the wire will be:

  • A
    $F = 2B_0I$,upwards
  • B
    $F = 2B_0I$,downwards
  • C
    $F = 4B_0I$,upwards
  • D
    $F = 4B_0I$,downwards
