10 A current is flowing in two straight parallel wires in the same direction. Force of attraction between them is \(1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\). If the current is doubled in both the wires the force will be

  1. A \(1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(0.25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{F}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \mathrm{I}_1 \mathrm{I}_2}{\mathrm{r}} l=10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)
When current in both the wires is doubled, then
\(\mathrm{F}^{\prime}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2\left(2 \mathrm{I}_1 \times 2 \mathrm{I}_2\right)}{\mathrm{r}} j=4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\)
