Solution

The correct option is B μ0πln(daa)
Since, the wires are infinite, so the system of these two wires can be considered as closed rectangle of infinite length and breadth equal to d.
Flux through strip
ϕ=daaμ0I2πr(Idr)=μ0Π2πln(daa)
The other wire produces the same result, so the total flux through the rectangle ABCD is
ϕtotal=μ0Ππln(daa)
The total inductance of length l
L=ltotalI=μ0Iπln(daa)
Inductance per unit length =LI=μ0πln(daa)
