Three long straight wires carrying current are arranged mutually parallel as shown in the figure. The force experienced by 15 cm length of wire Q is ___________.

\(\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} T . m / A \right)\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(6 \times 10^{-6}\) N towards R
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(F _{ net }=\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} I _0\left(\frac{ I _1}{d_1}+\frac{ I _2}{d_2}\right) \ell\)
\(F _{ net }=2 \times 10^{-7} \times 1\left(\frac{3}{3}+\frac{2}{2}\right) \times \frac{15 \times 10^{-2}}{10^{-2}}\)
\(=4 \times 15 \times 10^{-7}\)
\(F _{\text {net }}=6 \times 10^{-6} N\)
\(F _{ net }=2 \times 10^{-7} \times 1\left(\frac{3}{3}+\frac{2}{2}\right) \times \frac{15 \times 10^{-2}}{10^{-2}}\)
\(=4 \times 15 \times 10^{-7}\)
\(F _{\text {net }}=6 \times 10^{-6} N\)

- The ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be \(7.5\) while the ratio of their densities is \(13.6\). Their contact angles, with glass, are close to \(135^o\) and \(0^o\), respectively. It is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount \(h\) in a capillary tube of radius \(r_1\), while water rises by the same amount \(h\) in a capillary tube of radius \(r_2\).
