A U shaped wire of mass m and length l is immersed with its two ends in mercury (see figure). The wire is in a homogeneous field of magnetic induction B. If a charge, that is, a current pulse q=idtsent through the wire, the wire will jump up. Calculate, from the height h that the wire reaches, the size of the charge or current pulse, assuming that the time of the current pulse is very small in comparison with the time of flight. Make use of the fact that impulse of force equals  Fdt, which equals mv. Evaluate q for following details:
