Q. A current-carrying loop is dropped from the position shown. The loop starts entering into a region of uniform magnetic field, directed into the plane. (Neglect effects of self-induction and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.) Which of the following statements is correct?

The loop will fall with an acceleration more than $g$

The loop will fall with an acceleration less than $g$

The magnitude of acceleration of loop will increase as it moves down

The magnitude of acceleration of loop will remain constant as it moves down
