A wire of mass 100 g is carrying a current of 2 A towards increasing xx in the form of y=x2(−2m≤x≤+2m)y = x^2(-2m \le x \le +2m). This wire is placed in a magnetic field B=−0.02k^\mathbf{B} = -0.02 \hat{\mathbf{k}} tesla. The acceleration of the wire (in m/s2\text{m/s}^2) is (a) −1.6j^-1.6 \hat{\mathbf{j}} (b) −3.2j^-3.2 \hat{\mathbf{j}} (c) 1.6j^1.6 \hat{\mathbf{j}} (d) zero
