MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

Two long straight wires A and B carrying equal current 'I' were kept parallel to each other at distance ' d ' apart. Magnitude of magnetic force experienced by length \(L\) of wire \(A\) is ' \(F\) '. If the distance between the wires is made half and currents are doubled, force \(F_2\) on length \(L\) of wire A will be

  1. A 2 F
  2. B F
  3. C 8 F
  4. D 4 F
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 8 F

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = \frac{\mu_0 I^2 L}{2 \pi d}\) \(F_2 = \frac{\mu_0 (2I)(2I) L}{2 \pi (d/2)}\)
