$A$ long wire $A$ carries a current of $10 \, A$. Another long wire $B$,which is parallel to $A$ and separated by $0.1 \, m$ from $A$,carries a current of $5 \, A$ in the opposite direction to that in $A$. What is the magnitude and nature of the force experienced per unit length of $B$ $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A)$?

  • A
    Repulsive force of $10^{-4} \, N/m$
  • B
    Attractive force of $10^{-4} \, N/m$
  • C
    Repulsive force of $2\pi \times 10^{-5} \, N/m$
  • D
    Attractive force of $2\pi \times 10^{-5} \, N/m$

$A$ wire carrying current $I$ is tied between points $P$ and $Q$ and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius $R$ due to a uniform magnetic field $B$ (perpendicular to the plane of the paper,shown by $\times \times \times $) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle $2\theta_0$ at the centre of the circle (of which it forms an arc),then the tension in the wire is:
