If the distance between two current-carrying parallel wires is made $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$ of its original value,then the magnitude of the force between them (the same current is passing through both wires) is:

  • A
    tripled.
  • B
    $6$ times.
  • C
    $9$ times.
  • D
    remains the same.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are carrying currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ as shown in the figure. The separation between them is $d$. $A$ third wire $C$ carrying a current $I$ is to be kept parallel to them at a distance $x$ from $A$ such that the net force acting on it is zero. The possible values of $x$ are

$A$ straight horizontal conducting rod of length $0.45\; m$ and mass $60\; g$ is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. $A$ current of $5.0\; A$ is set up in the rod through the wires.
$(a)$ What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor in order that the tension in the wires is zero?
$(b)$ What will be the total tension in the wires if the direction of current is reversed keeping the magnetic field same as before? (Ignore the mass of the wires.) $g = 9.8\; m s^{-2}.$

$A$ current of $10 \ A$ flows through two long parallel wires. The magnetic force per unit length on each wire is $2 \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$. If their currents are doubled and the separation between them is halved,then the magnetic force per unit length of each wire becomes $...... \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$.
