Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $10 \ A$ and $4 \ A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $2 \ cm$. Estimate the force on a $4 \ cm$ section of wire $A$. ( $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ SI$ ).

  • A
    $1.6 \times 10^{-4} \ N$
  • B
    $1.6 \times 10^{-5} \ N$
  • C
    $1.6 \times 10^{-6} \ N$
  • D
    $1.6 \times 10^{-3} \ N$
