An arrangement of three parallel straight wires placed perpendicular to plane of paper carrying same current I along

Options

  1. Aμ0I22\pid\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{2\pid}
  2. B2μ0I2\pid\dfrac{2{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{\pid}
  3. C2μ0I2\pid\dfrac{\sqrt{2}{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{\pid}
  4. Dμ0I22\pid\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{\sqrt{2}\pid}

Correct answer

D. μ0I22\pid\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{\sqrt{2}\pid}

Step-by-step solution

Force per unit length between two parallel long current carrying wires is =\mu0I1I22 \pid= \dfrac{{\text{\mu}}_{\text{0}} {I}_{1} {I}_{2}}{\text{2 \pi d}}
Here, force between BC and AB will be same in magnitude.

An arrangement of three parallel straight wires placed perpendicular to plane of paper carrying same current I along

FBC=FBA=μ0I22\pid{F}_{BC} = {F}_{BA} = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{2\pid}

Fres=FBC2+FBA2{F}_{res} = \sqrt{{F}_{BC}^{2} + {F}_{BA}^{2}}

⟹Fres=2μ0I22\pid=μ0I22\pid⟹ {F}_{res} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}{\mu}_{0}{I}^{2}}{2\pid} = \dfrac{\mu{}_{0}{I}^{2}}{\sqrt{2}\pid}
