The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Field at P is
=\(\bigg(\frac{µ_0×i_1}{2πr_1}–\frac{µ_0i_2}{2πr_2}\bigg)\bigg(−\hat k\bigg)\)
=\(−\bigg(\frac{µ_04}{2π×0.04}−\frac{µ_0×2}{2π×0.06}\bigg)\hat k=–\frac{µ_0×200}{6π}\hat k\)
Therefore, the force
\(\overrightarrow F=\overrightarrow {qv} ×\overrightarrow B\)
= \(3π(2\hat i+3\hat j)×\bigg(−\bigg(\frac{µ_0×200}{6π}\bigg)\hat k\bigg)\)
=\(3π\bigg(\frac{200µ_0}{3π\hat j}−\frac{100µ_0}{π}\hat i)\)
= \(200µ_0\hat j–300µ_0\hat i\)
= \(4π×10^{−5}(2\hat j–3\hat i)\)
\(Hence,\) \(x = 3\)
