$A$ conducting bar $PQ$ of length $l$ carrying current $I$ is suspended from a rigid support as shown in the figure. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to $PQ$ and directed away from the reader (into the plane) is applied. If the mass of the bar is $M$,find the tension in each string.

  • A
    $Mg/2$
  • B
    $(Mg + IBl)/2$
  • C
    $(Mg - IBl)/2$
  • D
