$A, B$ and $C$ are three parallel conductors of equal lengths carrying currents $I, I$ and $2I$ respectively. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $x$ and that between $B$ and $C$ is also $x$. $F_1$ is the force exerted by conductor $B$ on $A$. $F_2$ is the force exerted by conductor $C$ on $A$. The current $I$ in $A$ and $I$ in $B$ are in the same direction,and the current $2I$ in $C$ is in the opposite direction. Then:

  • A
    $F_1=F_2$
  • B
    $F_2=2F_1$
  • C
    $F_1=2F_2$
  • D
    $F_1=-F_2$
