As shown in the figure, a wire is bent to form a $D$-shaped loop carrying current $I$, where the curved part is a semi-circle of radius $R$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$, which is directed into the plane of the paper. The net magnetic force on the closed loop is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $IRB$
  • C
    $2 IRB$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} IRB$
