There long straight wires `A`, `B` and `C` are carrying current as shown figure. Then the resultant force on `B` is directed

A

Towards `A`

B

Towards `C`

C

Perpendicular to the plane of pape and outward

D

Perpendicular to the plane of paper and inward

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Fpropi_(1)i_(2)`, so force on `B` due to `C` will be greater than that due `A`. Hence net force on `B` acts towards `C`.
