Two long parallel wires separated by a distance of 2.50 cm, repel each other with a force of \( 4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N/m} \). The current in one wire is 0.5 A. The current in the second wire will be

  1. A 5 A
  2. B 10 A
  3. C 4 A
  4. D 0.5 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 10 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_2 = \frac{2\pi d (F/L)}{\mu_0 I_1}\) \(I_2 = \frac{2\pi (0.025 \text{ m}) (4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N/m})}{(4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A}) (0.5 \text{ A})}\) \(I_2 = 10 \text{ A}\)
