    Mark the correct statement.

    A)  For long parallel conductors carrying steady current, the Biot-Savan law and Lorentz force yield results in accordance with Newtons third law

    B)  For long parallel conductors carrying steady current, the Biot - Savart law and Lorentz force, Newtons third law does not hold good

    C)  For long parallel conductors carrying time varying currents, the Biot - Savart law and Lorentz force, Newtons third law holds good

    D)  Both a and c are correct

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In general, Newtons third law is not valid for electromagnetic phenomena but for long parallel conductors and steady current, we can prove that Biot-Savart law and Lorentz force give the results in accordance with Newtons third law.
