A straight wire carrying a current i(1) ...

A straight wire carrying a current `i_(1)` amp runs along the axis of a circular current `i_(2)` amp. Then the force of interaction between the two current carrying conductors is

A

`infty`

B

Zero

C

`(mu_(0))/(4pi)(2i_(1)i_(2))/(r)N//m`

D

`(2i_(1)i_(2))/(r)N//m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As shown in the following figure straight wire is placed parallel to the magnetic field produced by circular current. Hence force on wire `F=0`
