Equal currents are flowing in four infinitely long wires. The distance between each other is the same and directions of currents are as shown in the figure. The net force on wire 2 is

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A directed towards left
- B equal to that on wire 1 towards right
- C directed towards right
- D zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) directed towards right
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Force on wire 2 from wire 1 (opposite currents): \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi d}\) (Left). Force on wire 2 from wire 3 (opposite currents): \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi d}\) (Right). Force on wire 2 from wire 4 (same currents, distance \(2d\)): \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi (2d)}\) (Right). Net…

A homogeneous mixture of two or more than two components has uniform composition and properties. The binary solutions have two components, which may be solid, liquid or gas. The resultant solution has a larger amount of solvent and a smaller amount of solute. The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent decides the concentration of the resulting solution. The concentration can be expressed in various ways, like molarity, molality, normality and mole fraction.
