    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 of r from wire 1 (as shown in figure) due to the magnetic field of wire1 [AIEEE 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)            \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi r}{{i}_{1}}\,{{i}_{2}}\,dl\,\sin \theta \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Length of the component dl which is parallel to wire (1) is \[dl\cos \theta \], so force on it. \[F=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{2{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}}{r}(dl\cos \theta )=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}dl\cos \theta }{2\pi r}\]
