Question

Three parallel wires (A, B, C) each of length 35 cm lie flat on a table with wire B between wires A and C.


Three parallel wires (A, B, C) each of length 35 cm lie flat on a table with wire B between wires A and C. Wire B is 15 cm from wire A. Wire C is 30 cm from wire B (so it is 45 cm from wire A). The current in wire A is 30 A, the current in wire B is 10 A, and the current in wire C is 90 A. Wires A and B have current in the same direction as each other, but wire C has current in the opposite direction. Rank the wires by the net magnetic force exerted on it, largest net force to smallest. 


  • C,B,A 

  • A,B,C 

  • B,C=A 

  • С,А,В 

  • A=B=C
