Two thin long parallel wires,separated by a distance $d$,carry a current of $I$ $A$ in the same direction. They will:

  • A
    attract each other with a force of $\mu_0I^2/2 \pi d^2$ per unit length.
  • B
    repel each other with a force of $\mu_0I^2/2 \pi d^2$ per unit length.
  • C
    attract each other with a force of $\mu_0I^2/2 \pi d$ per unit length.
  • D
    repel each other with a force of $\mu_0I^2/2 \pi d$ per unit length.
