The correct answer is: 0.65
Given, the mass of the wire =200 g=0.2 kg

Length of the wire 1.5 m

Current i=2 A

Magnetic field B=?

The force acting on the current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field

F=Bilsinθ

F=Bil   θ=90o

Weight of the wire w=mg=0.2×9.8 N

In the position of the suspension

Bil=mg 

B=mgil=0.2×9.82×1.5=0.65 T
