A light freely deformable conducting wire with insulation has its two ends (A and C) fixed to the ceiling. The two vertical parts of the wire are close to each other. A load of mass m is attached to the middle of the wire. The entire region has a uniform horizontal magnetic field B directed out of the plane of the figure. Prove that the two parts of the wire take the shape of circular arcs when a current I is passed through the wire. Neglect the magnetic interaction between the two parts of the wire. |
