Questions  

Two long parallel copper wires carry current of 5 A each in opposite directions. If the wires are separated by a distance of  0.5 m, then the force per unit length between the two wires is

a
10−5N/m,  attractive
b
10−5N/m,  repulsive
c
2 × 10−5N/m,  attractive
d
2 × 10−5N/m,  repulsive

detailed solution

Correct option is B

F=  10−7  ×  2i1 ×i2a  = 10−7  × 2 × 5 × 50.5=  10−5  N/m                                                                                 (Repulsive)
