In the given figure,$X$ and $Y$ are two long straight parallel conductors each carrying a current of $2\,\text{A}$. The force on each conductor is $F$ newtons. When the current in each is changed to $1\,\text{A}$ and reversed in direction,the force on each is now

  • A
    $F/4$ and unchanged in direction
  • B
    $F/2$ and reversed in direction
  • C
    $F/2$ and unchanged in direction
  • D
    $F/4$ and reversed in direction

Two long straight parallel conductors are carrying currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ in the same direction. The work done per unit length,when the distance between them is doubled,is:

Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $8.0 \, A$ and $5.0 \, A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $4.0 \, cm$. Estimate the force on a $10 \, cm$ section of wire $A$.

Through two parallel wires $A$ and $B$,$10 \, A$ and $2 \, A$ of currents are passed respectively in opposite directions. If the wire $A$ is infinitely long and the length of the wire $B$ is $2 \, m$,the force on the conductor $B$,which is situated at a $10 \, cm$ distance from $A$,will be:
