Correct option: (1) 1.8 × 10−4
Explanation:
We first note that wire B is repelled from both A and C, so there is no net effect from them. The only net force is with D. A quick calculation yields the value of the force per unit length as F/L =μoiAic / 2πd = (π x 10-7) x 6 x 6 / ( 2π x 0.04) = 1.8 x 10-4 N/m.
