Force per unit length between two parallel current carrying conductors,
\mathrm{F}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}_1 \mathrm{i}_2}{2 \pi \mathrm{d}}
Since same current flowing through both the wires

\mathrm{ \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{i}_2=\mathrm{i} \\ }

\mathrm{ \text { so } \mathrm{F}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}^2}{2 \pi \mathrm{d}}=\mathrm{F}_2 }

\mathrm{ \therefore }  Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire 'B'
\mathrm{ \mathrm{F}_{\text {net }}=\sqrt{\mathrm{F}_1^2+\mathrm{F}_2^2}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}^2}{\sqrt{2} \pi \mathrm{d}} }
