A fixed horizontal wire carries a current of $200\, A$. Another wire having a mass per unit length ${10^{ - 2}}\,kg/m$ is placed below the first wire at a distance of $2\, cm$ and parallel to it. How much current must be passed through the second wire if it floats in air without any support? What should be the direction of current in it

  • A

    $25\,A$ (direction of current is same to first wire)

  • B

    $25\,A$ (direction of current is opposite to first wire)

  • C

    $49\, A$ (direction of current is same to first wire)

  • D

    $49\, A$ (direction of current is opposite to first wire)

In an experiment, set up $A$ consists of two parallel wires which carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. $A$ second set up $B$ is identical to set up $A$, except that there is a metal plate between the wires. Let $F_A$ and $F_B$ be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup $A$ and setup $B$, respectively.
