2μ0i² πd -
√2μ0i² πd -
μ0i² √2πd -
μ0i² 2πd

Correct Option: C
Force per unit length between two parallel current carrying conductors,
F = | ||
2πd |
Since same current flowing through both the wires
ii = i2 = i
so F1 = | = F2 | |
2πd |
∴ Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire ‘B’
Fnet = √F1² + F2² = | ||
√2πd |
