An infinite wire placed along z-axis, has current I 1 in positive z-direction. A conducting rod placed in xy plane parallel to y-axis has current I 2 in positive y-direction. The ends of the rod subtend angles of +30 o and -60 o at the origin with positive x-direction. The rod is at a distance 'a' from the origin. Find net force on the rod.

Question

An infinite wire placed along z-axis, has current I 1 in positive z-direction. A conducting rod placed in xy plane parallel to y-axis has current I 2 in positive y-direction. The ends of the rod subtend angles of +30 o and -60 o at the origin with positive x-direction. The rod is at a distance 'a' from the origin. Find net force on the rod., F = μ 0 4 π I 1 I 2 ℓ n 3 - k ^, F = μ 0 4 π 2I 1 I 2 ℓ n 3 - k ^, F = μ 0 4 π I 1 I 2 ℓ n 3 k ^, F = μ 0 4 π 2 I 1 I 2 ℓ n 3 k ^
