A wire carrying current $I$ is tied between points $P$ and $Q$ and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius $R$ due to a uniform magnetic field $B$ (perpendicular to the plane of the paper, shown by $\times \times \times $) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle $2\theta_0$ at the centre of the circle (of which it forms an arc) then the tension in the wire is
