Two parallel wires in free space are $10 \,cm$ apart and each carries a current of $10 \,A$ in the same direction. The force exerted by one wire on the other [per unit length] is

  • A
    $2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [attractive]
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [attractive]
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [repulsive]
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [repulsive]
