Answer:

False, because current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor.

Explanation:

Current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor. Thus, the weight on the scale will be the same when current is flowing and when current is not flowing in the copper tube.

Therefore, If a copper tube has current flowing to the right in the presence of a magnetic field going forward ("into the board"), we expect the weight on the scale to be the same whether current is flowing or not.
