Two long parallel copper wires carry currents of $5\,A$ each in opposite directions. If the wires are separated by a distance of $0.5\,m$,then the force between the two wires is

  • A
    $10^{-5}\,N$,attractive
  • B
    $10^{-5}\,N$,repulsive
  • C

$A$ straight wire of length $2 \ m$ carries a current of $10 \ A$. If this wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $0.15 \ T$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the magnetic field, the applied force on the wire will be

Two long 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 $2$ times and its direction is reversed. The distance between them is also increased to $3d$. The new value of force between them is:
