Correct answer: C
-
Given data
- Resistance of loop:
- Supporting mass:
- Side of square loop:
- Magnetic field:
- , so
- Acceleration due to gravity:
-
Weight of the supporting mass
-
Magnetic force on the side inside the field
Only the horizontal side lying in the magnetic field experiences a vertical magnetic force that can balance the weight.
