Five long wire A, B, C, D and E each carrying current I are arranged to form edges of a pentagonal prism as shown in figure. Each wire carries current out of the plane of paper, the magnetic induction at a point on the axis O is (Axis O is a distance R from each wire) is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The resultant magnetic field induction at O due to current through all the five wires will be zero.
