Two straight horizontal parallel wires are carrying the same current in the same direction, `d` is the distance between the wires, You are provided with a small frelly suspended magnetic needle. At which of the following positions will the orientions of the needle be independent of the magntitude of the current in the wires?

A

At a distance `d//2` from any of the wires

B

At a distance `d//2` from any of the wires in the horizontal plane

C

Anywhere on the circumference of a verticle circle of raadius `d` and centre halfway between thw wires

D

At points halfway between the wires in the horizontal plane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
