An arrangement of three parallel straight wires placed perpendicular to plane of paper carrying same current along the same direction as shown in fogure. Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire is given by


- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C

Since same current flowing through both the wires
ii = i2 = i
So F1 = $${{{\mu _0}{i^2}} \over {2\pi d}}$$ = F2
$ \therefore $ Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire 'B'
Fnet = $$\sqrt {F_1^2 + F_2^2} $$ = $${{{\mu _0}{i^2}} \over {\sqrt 2 \pi d}}$$
