A straight wire of length 1.0mm ,  and mass 248g, carries a current I in a region where the magnitude field is directed horizontal from left to right. The wire lies perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the current direction is out of the screen/paper. If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.75T, what is the minimum value of the magnitude of the current II (in A) in this wire so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to the magnetic field it is in. Assume that no other forces except gravity act on it?

Question

A straight wire of length 1.0mm ,  and mass 248g, carries a current I in a region where the magnitude field is directed horizontal from left to right. The wire lies perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the current direction is out of the screen/paper.

If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.75T, what is the minimum value of the magnitude of the current II (in A) in this wire so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to the magnetic field it is in. Assume that no other forces except gravity act on it?
