Two parallel wires separated by distance 'b' are carrying equal current 'I' in the same direction. The force per unit length of the wire is

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{b}^2}\right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{I^2}{b^2}\right)\).
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{I^2}{b}\right)\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{2 I^2}{b}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{2 I^2}{b}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{F}}{l}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \mathrm{I}_1 \mathrm{I}_2}{\mathrm{r}} \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{F}}{l}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \mathrm{I}^2}{b} \\ \therefore \quad & \phi=60^{\circ}=\pi / 3\end{aligned}\)
