Magnetic Force on a Current Carrying Wire
Question

Two long current carrying thin wires, both with current I, are held by insulating threads of length L and are in equilibrium as shown in the figure, with threads making an angle 'θ' with the vertical. If wires have mass λ per unit length then the value of I is : (g = gravitational acceleration)

Solution

xL=sinθ x = L tanθ                                

d = 2Lsinθ
