$A$ conducting wire bent in the form of a parabola $y^2 = 2x$ carries a current $i = 2 \, A$ as shown in the figure. This wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = -4\,\hat{k} \, T$. The magnetic force on the wire is (in newton):

  • A
    $ - 16\,\hat{i}$
  • B
    $ 32\,\hat{i}$
  • C
    $ - 32\,\hat{i}$
  • D
    $ 16\,\hat{i}$

Two long straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying equal current $I$ were kept parallel to each other at distance $d$ apart. The magnitude of the magnetic force experienced by length $L$ of wire $A$ is $F$. If the distance between the wires is halved and the currents are doubled,the force $F_2$ on length $L$ of wire $A$ will be:
