$A$ thin flexible wire of length $L$ is connected to two adjacent fixed points and carries a current $I$ in the clockwise direction,as shown in the figure. When the system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength $B$ going into the plane of the paper,the wire takes the shape of a circle. The tension in the wire is

  • A
    $IBL$
  • B
