Two thin long parallel wires separated by a distance ' \(r\) ' from each other in vacuum carry a current of I ampere in opposite directions. Then, they will

  1. A Attract each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2 \pi r}\)
  2. B Repel each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2 \pi r}\)
  3. C Repel each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2 \pi r^2}\)
  4. D Attract each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2 \pi r^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Repel each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 I^2}{2 \pi r}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\frac{\mathrm{f}}{\ell}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}, \mathrm{i}_2}{\mathrm{t} \pi \mathrm{r}}\)
If they carry opposite currently they repeat each other
