A thin flexible wire of length $\mathrm{L}$ is connected to two adjacent fixed points and carries a current $\mathrm{I}$ in the clockwise direction, as shown in the figure. When the system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength $B$ going into the plane of the paper, the wire takes the shape of a circle. The tension in the wire is
  • A$IBL$
  • B$\frac{\mathrm{IBL}}{\pi}$
  • C$\frac{\mathrm{IBL}}{2 \pi}$
  • D$\frac{\mathrm{IBL}}{4 \pi}$
