Questions  

The unit of electric current "ampere" is the current which when flowing through each of two parallel wires spaced 1 m apart in vacuum and of infinite length will give rise to a force between them equal to

a
1 N/m
b
2 ×10−7 N/m
c
1 ×10−2 N/m
d
4π ×10−7 N/m

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Force per unit length on two parallel current carrying conductors is given by Fl=  10−7  ×  2 i1i2a⇒Fl=  10−7  ×  2 × 1 × 11  = 2  ×  10−7  N/m
