Questions  

Two long parallel wires carrying equal current separated by 1 m, exert a force of 2×107N/m on one another. The current flowing through them is

a
2.0 A
b
2.0 × 10−7  A
c
1.0 A
d
1.0 × 10−7  A

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Fl=μ04π × 2i1 ×i2a= μ04π2i2a   ∵  i1 =i2=i ⇒2 × 10−7 =10−7 ×2i2 1 ⇒ i=1A
