As shown in the figure, a uniform straight wire of length $30 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$ is bent in the form of an equilateral triangle $ABC$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $2 \text{ T}$ is applied parallel to the side $BC$. If the current through the wire is $2 \text{ A}$, the magnitude of the force on the side $AC$ is ($\overline{B}$ represents the direction of the magnetic field).

  • A
    $2 \sqrt{3} \text{ N}$
  • B
