Question

Forces experienced by a wire? See picture

()

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

The simplest way to see this is to use the known result that parallel wires carrying like currents attract, and unlike currents repel. Thus, the wires Y and Z repel, while X attracts Z. Since Y is closer to Z, the repulsive force it exerts is stronger - so the net force on Z is to the right.
