Two infinitely long parallel wires having linear charge densities $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ respectively are placed at a distance of $R$ meters. The force per unit length on either wire will be $(K = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0})$.

  • A
    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • B
    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R}$
  • C
    $K\frac{\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • D
    $K\frac{\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R}$
