Question:

Two long and parallel straight conducting wires carrying currents of 5 A and 10 A in same direction are separated by a distance of 2cm. The force per unit length on one wire due to other is $(μ_0: 4π×10^{-7} NA^{-2})$

Options:

$5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; attractive force

$5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; repulsive force

$2.5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; attractive force

$2.5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; repulsive force

Correct Answer:

$5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; attractive force

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - $5 × 10^{-4} N/m$; attractive force
