Answer

$I=467mA$

Work Step by Step

In equilibrium state, the weight of the wire and magnetic force are equal in magnitude. Therefore: $ILB=mg$ or $I=\frac{mg}{LB}$ We plug in the known values in this formula to obtain: $I=\frac{0.013\times 9.81}{0.62\times 0.440}$ $I=0.467$ $I=467\times10^{-3}$ $I=467mA$
