Questions  

Two parallel wires in free space are 10 cm apart and each carries a current of 10 A in the same direction. The force one wire exerts on the other per metre of length is

a
2  ×  10−4  N/m,  attractive
b
2  ×  10−4  N/m,  repulsive
c
2  ×  10−7  N/m,  attractive
d
2  ×  10−7  N/m,  repulsive

detailed solution

Correct option is A

F=μ04π  2i1 ×i2a= 10−7 × 2 × 10 × 100.1 =2 ×10−4 N/mDirection of current is same, so force is attractive.
