Question

Two wires A & B are carrying currents I1 & I2 as shown in the figure. The separation between them is d. A third wire C carrying a current I is to be kept parallel to them at a distance x from A such that the net force acting on it is zero. The possible values of x are :

$x = \left( {{{{I_1}} \over {{I_1} + {I_2}}}} \right)d\,and\,x = \left( {{{{I_2}} \over {{I_1} - {I_2}}}} \right)d$
$x = \left( {{{{I_2}} \over {{I_1} + {I_2}}}} \right)d\,and\,x = \left( {{{{I_2}} \over {{I_1} - {I_2}}}} \right)d$
$x = \left( {{{{I_1}} \over {{I_1} - {I_2}}}} \right)d\,and\,x = \left( {{{{I_2}} \over {{I_1} + {I_2}}}} \right)d$
$x = \pm {{{I_1}d} \over {{I_1} - {I_2}}}$
