Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\overrightarrow {{F_1}}  =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(Both solenoids are taken to be ideal in nature.)

Both wires will attract each other, but net force on each wire will be zero.

Concept: Two current carrying elements attract each other if direction of current is same.

\(\overrightarrow {{F_1}}  =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)
