Two long conductors separated by a distance $d$ carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ in the same direction. They exert a force $F$ on each other. Now,the current in one of them is increased to $2$ times and its direction is reversed. The distance between them is also increased to $3d$. The new value of force between them is:

  • A
    $-2F$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{-2F}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{-F}{3}$
