Consider two long, straight, parallel conductors A and B separated by a distance \(d\) . They carry steady current \(I\) in the same direction. The force acting on unit length of conductor B due to conductor A is:

  1. \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{{I}^{2}}{{~d}}\) and is attractive
  2. \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{{I}^{2}}{{~d}}\) and is repulsive
  3. \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{{I}^{2}}{{~d}}\) and is attractive
  4. \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{{I}^{2}}{{~d}}\) and is repulsive

Answer

(A) _ 0 2 I ^ 2 ~d and is attractive
