$A$ current of $1 \ A$ is flowing along the positive $x$-axis through a straight wire of length $0.5 \ m$ placed in a region of a magnetic field given by $\vec{B} = (2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) \ T$. The magnitude and the direction of the force experienced by the wire are, respectively:

  • A
    $\sqrt{18} \ N$, along positive $z$-axis
  • B
    $\sqrt{20} \ N$, along positive $x$-axis
  • C
    $2 \ N$, along positive $z$-axis
  • D
    $4 \ N$, along positive $y$-axis
