Question

In the figure shown a current I 1 is established in the long straight wire AB. Another wire CD carrying current I 2 is placed in the plane of the paper. The line joining the ends of the wire is perpendicular to the wire AB. The resultant force on the wire CD is :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Diagram of force acting on wire will be as shown in diagram

but magnitude of all elemental forces are not equal and not even symmetrically distributed so no componentof force will get canceled completely so resultant, will have component in x as well as y
