Two parallel conductors, each $50 \ m$ long, separated by $0.2 \ m$, experience a force of $1 \ N$. If the current in the first conductor is twice that of the second conductor, what is the current in the second conductor (in $A$)? (Given: $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ T \cdot m/A$)

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $200$
  • C
    $120$
  • D
    $50$
