Two long parallel wires carry equal current in the same direction. The length of each wire is l and the distance between them is d. Force acting on each wire

a
μ0i2l2πd
b
μ0il2πd2
c
μ0i2l24πd2
d
μ0i2l4πd2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Force exerted by one wire on unit length of the other=μ0i1i22πdIf l be the length of the wire, thenFm=μ0i1i2l2πd=μ0li22πd ∵i1=i2=i
