Currents of $10\, A$ and $2\, A$ are passed through two parallel thin wires $A$ and $B$ respectively in opposite directions. Wire $A$ is infinitely long and the length of wire $B$ is $2\, m$. The force acting on the conductor $B$,which is situated at a distance of $10\, cm$ from $A$,will be:

  • A
    $8 \times 10^{-5}\, N$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^{-5}\, N$
  • C
    $8\pi \times 10^{-7}\, N$
  • D
    $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\, N$
