The loop may be divided into a large number of small length elements. When a current I is passed through the loop placed in the magnetic field such that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to field, then force on each element is
`dvecF=IdveclxxvecB=IdlBsin90^@`
`=Idlb`
Perpendicular to current element `Ivecdl` as well as magnetic field `vecB`. Hence, the loop opens into a circle.
Consider an element of length dl of circle of radius r, making an angle `alpha` at centre. If T is the tension in the wire, then force toward centre
`2T sinalpha.2=IBdl`
`T=(IBdl)/alpha=IBr" "(:. alpha=dl/r)`
`=IB(l/(2pi))" "( :. l=2pir)`
`=1.57xx1xx(0.5/(2xx3.14))=0.125N`
