A rectangular loop of wire, supporting a mass m, hangs with one end in a uniform
magnetic field $\displaystyle \vec{B}$ pointing out of the plane of the paper. A clockwise current is set up such that $\displaystyle \mathrm{i}>\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{Ba}$, where a is the width of the loop. Then :

Official answer
(2)
The magnetic field causes force with both a vertical and a horizontal component. Work has to be done by an external agent to maintain current.
