$A$ rigid wire consists of a semicircular portion of radius $R$ and two straight sections. The wire is partially immersed in a perpendicular magnetic field $B = B_0 \hat{k}$ as shown in the figure. The magnetic force on the wire if it carries a current $i$ is:

  • A
    $-i B_0 (2R) \hat{i}$
  • B
    $i B_0 (2R) \hat{i}$
  • C
    $-i B_0 (2R) \hat{j}$
  • D
    $i B_0 (2R) \hat{j}$
