In the given figure,$X$ and $Y$ are two long straight parallel conductors each carrying a current of $2\,\text{A}$. The force on each conductor is $F$ newtons. When the current in each is changed to $1\,\text{A}$ and reversed in direction,the force on each is now

  • A
    $F/4$ and unchanged in direction
  • B
    $F/2$ and reversed in direction
  • C
    $F/2$ and unchanged in direction
  • D
    $F/4$ and reversed in direction

Assume parallel motion along the $x$-axis.

Heart-lung machines and artificial kidney machines employ blood pumps. $A$ mechanical pump can mangle blood cells. The figure represents an electromagnetic pump. The blood is confined to an electrically insulating tube, represented as a rectangle of width $\omega$ and height $h$. Two electrodes fit into the top and the bottom of the tube. The potential difference between them establishes an electric current through the blood, with current density $J$ over a section of length $L$. $A$ perpendicular magnetic field $B$ exists in the same region. The section of liquid in the magnetic field experiences a pressure increase given by:
