The adjoining figure shows a very long semi-cylindrical conducting shell of radius $R$ carrying a current $i$. An infinitely long straight current-carrying conductor is lying along the axis of the semi-cylinder. If the current flowing through the straight wire is $i_0$,then the force per unit length on the conducting wire is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 i i_0}{\pi^2 R}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 i i_0}{\pi R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 i_0^2 i}{\pi^2 R}$
  • D
    None of these
