$A$ 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 $B$ $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A)$?

Three infinite straight wires $A, B$ and $C$ carry currents as shown in the figure. The resultant force on wire $B$ is directed:

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:

$A$ fixed horizontal wire carries a current of $200\, A$. Another wire having a mass per unit length of $10^{-2}\, kg/m$ is placed below the first wire at a distance of $2\, cm$ and parallel to it. How much current must be passed through the second wire if it floats in air without any support? What should be the direction of current in it?

$A$ long wire $AB$ is placed on a table. Another wire $PQ$ of mass $1.0\, g$ and length $50\, cm$ is set to slide on two rails $PS$ and $QR$. $A$ current of $50\, A$ is passed through the wires. At what distance above $AB$ will the wire $PQ$ be in equilibrium? (in $mm$)
