An arrangement of three parallel straight wires placed perpendicular to plane of paper carrying same current 'I' along the same direction is shown in Fig. Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire ' B' is given by :
As discussed in
Force between two parallel current carrying conductors -
- wherein
I1 and I2 current carrying two parallel wires
a-seperation between two wires
Force between wires A and B = Force between B and C
BC =
net force on wire B
