and then
1. A current-carrying wire is placed into a magnetic field. If the magnetic force experienced by the wire
balances the weight of the wire, the wire will float.
The direction of the magnetic field is from west to east.
For the wire to float, it is placed
A
parallel to the magnetic field so the current flows from east to west.
