Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 29 January, Shift 1

Two long wires carry equal currents II. The first wire runs in from the far left along a horizontal line to the point BB and then turns and runs vertically downwards to infinity (the segment BCBC). The second wire runs in from the far right along the same horizontal line to the point EE and then turns and runs vertically upwards to infinity (the segment ETET). The two vertical semi-infinite segments are a distance aa apart, and OO is the mid-point of BEBE.

The magnitude of the magnetic induction at OO is:

  • A

    μ0I/(2πa)\mu_0 I / (2\pi a)

  • B

    00

  • C

    μ0I/(4πa)\mu_0 I / (4\pi a)

  • D

    μ0I/(πa)\mu_0 I / (\pi a)
