The Attempt at a Solution
We want the tension to be zero.
But since the force of gravity going downward, then magnetic force in wire 2 must goes up.
But magnetic force in wire 2 goes up only if current going to the right and magnetic field goes entering the screen . My question. How do I know for sure that the magnetic field is entering the screen, not out of the screen?
Also from the relevant equation image there is something I don't understand in wire 1.
Isn't by right hand rule, if thumb is thrust and middle finger the current, then B must be out of the screen? but why in wire one the direction is looping?
