KCET2025PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Two thin long parallel wires separated by a distance ' r ' from each other in vacuum carry a current of I ampere in opposite directions. Then, they will
Options
- AAttract each other with a force per unit length of ₀ I^2 2 r
- BRepel each other with a force per unit length of ₀ I^2 2 r
- CRepel each other with a force per unit length of ₀ I^2 2 r^2
- DAttract each other with a force per unit length of ₀ I^2 2 r^2
Correct answer
B. Repel each other with a force per unit length of ₀ I^2 2 r
Step-by-step solution
f = ₀ i , i ₂ t r If they carry opposite currently they repeat each other
