Questions  

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

 

 

a
2μ0I2πd
b
2μ0I2πd
c
μ0I22πd
d
μ0I22πd

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Force between wires A and B = force between wires B and C  ∴FBC=FAB=μoI2l2πd  As F→AB⊥F→BC, net force on wire B,  Fnet =2FBC=2μoI2l2πdFnet =μoI2l2πd  or Fnet l=μoI22πd
