Two parallel,long wires are kept $0.20 \, m$ apart in a vacuum,each carrying a current of $x \, A$ in the same direction. If the force of attraction per meter of each wire is $2 \times 10^{-6} \, N$,then the value of $x$ is approximately:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2.4$
  • C
    $1.4$
  • D
    $2$
