Q29 · Physics

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

The figure, described in words

Wires A, B, C (currents out of page): B at the corner, C at distance d to the right of B, A at distance d below B; angle ABC = 90°.

  1. 1μ0i22πd\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi d}
  2. 22μ0i2πd\frac{2\mu_0 i^2}{\pi d}
  3. 32μ0i2πd\frac{\sqrt{2}\mu_0 i^2}{\pi d}
  4. 4μ0i22πd\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{\sqrt{2}\pi d}Official answer

Official answer: option 4 · CBSE official answer key
