Two long straight wires $P$ and $Q$ carrying equal current $10\,A$ each were kept parallel to each other at $5\,cm$ distance. Magnitude of magnetic force experienced by $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ is $F_1$. If distance between wires is halved and currents on them are doubled,force $F_2$ on $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ will be :

  • A
    $8 F_1$
  • B
    $10 F_1$
  • C
    $F_1 / 8$
  • D
    $F_1 / 10$
