Two very long,straight,and parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $I$ respectively in opposite directions. The distance between the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time,a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I q v}{2\pi d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I q v}{\pi d}$
  • C
    $\frac{2\mu_0 I q v}{\pi d}$
  • D
    $0$
