Two long straight parallel conductors separated by a distance of $0.5\,m$ carry currents of $5\,A$ and $8\,A$ in the same direction. The force per unit length experienced by each other is

  • A
    $1.6 \times 10^{-5}\,N$ (attractive)
  • B
    $1.6 \times 10^{-5}\,N$ (repulsive)
  • C
    $16 \times 10^{-5}\,N$ (attractive)
  • D
    $16 \times 10^{-5}\,N$ (repulsive)
