Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Repulsive and equal to \(\frac{{{\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}}}{{4\pi }}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({{\text{F}}_3}{\text{& }}{{\text{F}}_4}\,{\text{cancel}}\,{\text{each}}\,{\text{other}}{\text{. }}\)

\({\text{Force on PQ will be }}{{\text{F}}_1} = {2_B}{\text{Ia}}\)

\({\text{ = }}{{\text{I}}_2}\frac{{{\mu _0}{I_1}}}{{2\pi {\text{a}}}}{\text{a}}\)

\( = \frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi {\text{a}}}}{\text{a}}\)

\( = \frac{{{\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}}}{{2\pi }}\)

Force on \(RS\) will be \(F_{2}=I_{2} B_{2} a\)

\({=\mathrm{I}_{2} \frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{1}}{2 \pi 2 \mathrm{a}} \mathrm{a}}\)

\({=\frac{\mu_{0} I_{1} I_{2}}{4 \pi}}\)

Net force \(=\mathrm{F}_{1}-\mathrm{F}_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0} I_1 \mathrm{I}_{2}}{4 \pi}\) repulsion
