If the distance between two current-carrying parallel wires is made $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$ of its original value,then the magnitude of the force between them (the same current is passing through both wires) is:

  • A
    tripled.
  • B
    $6$ times.
  • C
    $9$ times.
  • D
    remains the same.

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $25 \,A$ rests on a table. Another wire $PQ$ of length $1 \,m$ and mass $2.5 \,g$ carries the same current but in the opposite direction. The wire $PQ$ is free to slide up and down. To what height $h$ will wire $PQ$ rise (in $\,mm$)? (Take $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$ and $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \,T \cdot m/A$)
