The circuit in the figure consists of wires at the top and bottom and identical springs as the left and right sides. The wire at the bottom has a mass of $10 \, g$ and is $5 \, cm$ long. The wire is hanging as shown in the figure. The springs stretch $0.5 \, cm$ under the weight of the wire and the circuit has a total resistance of $12 \, \Omega$. When the lower wire is subjected to a static magnetic field,the springs stretch an additional $0.3 \, cm$. The magnetic field is

  • A
    $0.6 \, T$ and directed out of the page
  • B
    $1.2 \, T$ and directed into the plane of the page
  • C
    $0.6 \, T$ and directed into the plane of the page
  • D
    $1.2 \, T$ and directed out of the page
