Two parallel wires $1 \text{ m}$ apart carry currents of $1 \text{ A}$ and $3 \text{ A}$ respectively in opposite directions. The force per unit length acting between these two wires is

  • A
    $6 \times 10^{-7} \text{ N m}^{-1}$ repulsive
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-7} \text{ N m}^{-1}$ attractive
  • C
    $6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N m}^{-1}$ repulsive
  • D
    $6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N m}^{-1}$ attractive
