  • question_answer
    Wires 1 and 2 carrying currents, \[{{i}_{1}}\] and \[{{i}_{2}}\] respectively are inclined at an angle \[\theta \] to each other. What is the force on a small element dl of wire 2 at a distance r from wire 1 (as shown in figure) due to the magnetic field of wire 1?                             AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi r}{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}\,dl\tan \theta \]         

    B) \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi r}{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}\,dl\sin \theta \]

    C)           \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi r}{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}\,dl\cos \theta \] 

    D)          \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi r}{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}\,dl\sin \theta \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The component \[d\,l\cos \theta \] of element dl is parallel to the length of the wire 1. Hence, force on this elemental component                 \[F=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{2{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}}{r}(d\,l\cos \theta )\]                 \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}\,{{i}_{1}}\,{{i}_{2}}d\,l\cos \theta }{2\pi r}\]
