Two long parallel conductors,separated by a distance $d$,carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ in the same direction. They exert a force $F$ on each other. Now,the current in one of them is increased to $2I$ and its direction is reversed. The distance between them is also increased to $3d$. The new value of the force between them is:

  • A
    $-2F$
  • B
    $F/3$
  • C
    $-2F/3$
  • D
    $F/3$
