The force acting on a current-carrying wire joining two fixed points $A$ and $B$ in a uniform magnetic field is:

  • A
    increases exponentially with increase in current
  • B
    is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field
  • C
    is independent of the shape of the wire
  • D
    is parallel to the direction of the magnetic field
