In the given figure,$X$ and $Y$ are two long straight parallel conductors each carrying a current of $2\,\text{A}$. The force on each conductor is $F$ newtons. When the current in each is changed to $1\,\text{A}$ and reversed in direction,the force on each is now

  • A
    $F/4$ and unchanged in direction
  • B
    $F/2$ and reversed in direction
  • C
    $F/2$ and unchanged in direction
  • D
    $F/4$ and reversed in direction

The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at a certain place is $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \; T$ and the direction of the field is from the geographic south to the geographic north. $A$ very long straight conductor is carrying a steady current of $1 \; A$. What is the force per unit length on it when it is placed on a horizontal table and the direction of the current is $(a)$ east to west; $(b)$ south to north?

$A$ wire of length $L$ carries a current $I$ along the $X$-axis. The magnetic force acting on the wire is given by $\vec{F} = I B_0 L(\hat{k} - \hat{j})$. The existing magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is
