Two long straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying equal current $I$ were kept parallel to each other at distance $d$ apart. The magnitude of the magnetic force experienced by length $L$ of wire $A$ is $F$. If the distance between the wires is halved and the currents are doubled,the force $F_2$ on length $L$ of wire $A$ will be:

  • A
    $2 F$
  • B
    $F$
  • C
    $8 F$
  • D
    $4 F$
