JEE Main2005PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
Two thin, long parallel wires separated by a distance 'd' carry a current of 'i' A in the same direction. They will
Options
- Aattract each other with a force of ₀ i^2 /(2 d )
- Brepel each other with a force of ₀ i^2 /(2 d )
- Cattract each other with a force of ₀ i ^2 (2 d ^2 )
- Drepel each other with a force of ₀ i ^2 /(2 d ^2 )
Correct answer
A. attract each other with a force of ₀ i^2 /(2 d )
Step-by-step solution
Using the definition of force per unit length due to two long parallel wires carrying currents.
