Question

A thin flexible wire of length L is connected to a battery (negligible in size as compared to the wire) to form a closed loop. The battery drives a current I in the wire. When the system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength B perpendicular to the plane in which the wire is placed, the wire takes the shape of a circle. The tension in the wire is
