A wire \(X\) of length \(50\; cm\) carrying a current of \(2\,A\) is placed parallel to a long wire \(Y\) of length \(5\,m\). The wire \(Y\) carries a current of \(3\,A\). The distance between two wires is \(5\,cm\) and currents flow in the same direction. The force acting on the wire \(Y\) is.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.2 \times 10^{-5} \;N\) directed towards wire \(X\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force of interaction \(=I_{1} \ell_{1} B_{12}\)

\(=\frac{\mu_{0} I _{1} I _{2}}{2 \pi r } \ell_{1}\)

\(=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 6 \times 5}{2 \pi \times 5 \times 10^{-2}}\)

\(=1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text { towards } X\)
