My brother places a straight conducting wire with mass 10.0 g and length 5.00 cm on a frictionless incline plane (45° from the horizontal). There is a uniform magnetic field of 2.0 T at all points on the plane, pointing straight up. To keep the wire from sliding down the incline, my brother applies an electric potential across the wire. When the right amount of current flows through the wire, the wire remains at rest. Determine the magnitude of the current in the wire that will cause the wire to remain at rest.
