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

    A)  \[2 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{4}N, attractive~~~~\]

    B)  \[2 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{4}N, repulsive\]

    C)  \[2 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{7}N, attractive\]

    D)  \[2 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{7}N, repulsive\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Force per unit length, \[F=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{I}_{1}},\,{{I}_{2}}}{2\pi \,d}\] Current in wire, \[{{I}_{1}}={{I}_{2}}=10\,A\] Distance between two wires, \[\operatorname{d}=10 cm, = 0.1 m\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,F=\frac{(4\pi \,\times \,{{10}^{-\,7}})\times 10\times 10}{2\pi \,\,\times \,\,0.1}\] \[=\,\,\,\,2\,\,\times \,\,1{{0}^{-\,4}}\,N\] As, current is flowing in same direction so force will be attractive.
