COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current
Three long straight wires \(A, B\) and \(C\) are carrying currents as shown in figure, then the resultant force on \(B\) is directed

- A perpendicular to the plane of paper and outward
- B perpendicular to the plane of paper and inward
- C towards \(A\)
- D towards \(C\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) towards \(C\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The magnetic force between two current carrying wires for current in same direction is attractive. Thus, force on \(B\) due to the magnetic field produced due to wire \(A\) is…
