$A, B$ and $C$ are parallel conductors of equal length carrying currents $I, I$ and $2I$ respectively. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $x$. The distance between $B$ and $C$ is also $x$. If $F_1$ is the force exerted by $B$ on $A$ and $F_2$ is the force exerted by $C$ on $B$,choose the correct answer.

  • A
    $F_1 = 2F_2$
  • B
    $F_2 = 2F_1$
  • C
    $F_1 = F_2$
  • D
    $F_1 = -F_2$

Two $10 \; cm$ long,straight wires,each carrying a current of $5 \; A$,are kept parallel to each other. If each wire experiences a force of $10^{-5} \; N$,then the separation between the wires is $\dots \; cm$.

$A$ straight wire of mass $0.2 \,kg$ and length $1.5 \,m$ carries a current of $2 \,A$, as shown in the figure. It is suspended in mid-air by a uniform magnetic field $B$ pointing into the plane of the paper. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field.

$A$ current of $10 \ A$ flows through two long parallel wires. The magnetic force per unit length on each wire is $2 \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$. If their currents are doubled and the separation between them is halved,then the magnetic force per unit length of each wire becomes $...... \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$.
