Two parallel wires in free space are $10 \,cm$ apart and each carries a current of $10 \,A$ in the same direction. The force exerted by one wire on the other [per unit length] is
- A$2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [attractive]
- B$2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [attractive]
- C$2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [repulsive]
- D$2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [repulsive]

View SolutionTwo 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:
Two very long straight parallel conductors of negligible cross-section carrying equal electric current of $1 \text{ mA}$ are placed one metre apart in a vacuum. The force produced per metre length is $\qquad \text{ N}$. (Given: $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m A}^{-1}$)
