उत्तर
(i) Magnetic field due to a straight infinite long straight wire carrying current is given by

Current in wire 2 is 3I
\[B_2 = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{2 \times 6I}{r}\]
\[ B_2 = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}(\frac{6 I}{r})\]
\[\text { The direction of magnetic field at point A due to wire 2 is in inward direction}.\]
Magnetic field (B3) at point A due to charge carrying wire 3
Current in wire 3 is 4I
\[B_3 = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{2 \times 4 I}{r + 2r}\]
\[ B_3 = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}(\frac{8 I}{3r})\]
\[\text { The direction of magnetic field at point A due to wire 3 is in the outward direction } . \]
\[\text { Net Magnetic field at point A }\]
\[B = B_2 - B_3 \]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}(\frac{3 I}{r}) - \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}(\frac{8 I}{3r})\]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}(\frac{I}{3r}) \]
\[\text { The direction of net magnetic field at point A is in inward direction } . \]
(ii)
Magnitude of force on wire 2 due to wire 1
\[F_{21} = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi} \frac{2 I_2 I_1}{r}\]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{2 \times 3I \times I}{r} = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{6 I^2}{r}\]
\[\text { Magnitude of force on wire 2 due to wire } 3\]
\[ F_{23} = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi} \frac{2 I_2 I_3}{r}\]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{2 \times 3I \times 4I}{2r} = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{12 I^2}{r}\]
\[\text { Net force on wire 2 } = F_{23} - F_{21} \]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{12 I^2}{r} - \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{6 I^2}{r}\]
\[ = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac{6 I^2}{r}\]

Two infinitely long straight parallel wires, '1' and '2', carrying steady currents I1 and I2 in the same direction are separated by a distance d. Obtain the expression for the magnetic field `vecB`due to the wire '1' acting on wire '2'. Hence find out, with the help of a suitable diagram, the magnitude and direction of this force per unit length on wire '2' due to wire '1'. How does the nature of this force changes if the currents are in opposite direction? Use this expression to define the S.I. unit of current.
