Force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field
Question

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

Easy
Solution

Force exerted by one wire on unit length of the other
=μ0i1i22πd
If l be the length of the wire, then
Fm=μ0i1i2l2πd=μ0li22πd i1=i2=i
