Two long parallel wires are separated by a distance of $2.50 \ cm$. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is $4 \times 10^{-5} \ N \ m^{-1}$, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is $0.5 \ A$. What is the current in the second wire (in $A$)? (Take $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ S.I. \ \text{unit}$)

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $10$
