Two long current carrying conductors separated by a distance 'r' carrying equal currents in the same direction exert a force 'F' per unit length on each other. Now current in one of them is reversed, and distance between them is made twice the original distance. The force per unit length will become:

  1. A F/2
  2. B 2F
  3. C F/4
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) F/2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = \frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi r} \) \( F' = \frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi (2r)} \) \( F' = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2\pi r} \right) = \frac{F}{2} \)
