Three long straight wires carrying current are arranged mutually parallel as shown in the figure. The force experienced by 15 cm length of wire is .
()
()
Options
- A towards
- B towards
- C towards
- D towards
Correct answer
D. towards
Step-by-step solution
The force per unit length between parallel wires is .
Force on Q from P (opposite currents, repulsive towards R): N/m.
Force on Q from R (same currents, attractive towards R): N/m.
Total force per unit length towards R: N/m.
For 0.15 m length: N towards R.
Force on Q from P (opposite currents, repulsive towards R): N/m.
Force on Q from R (same currents, attractive towards R): N/m.
Total force per unit length towards R: N/m.
For 0.15 m length: N towards R.
