    $4 : 3$
  • B
    $3 : 1$

$A$ wire of length $L$ carries current $I$ along the $x$-axis. $A$ magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0(\hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k}) \text{ T}$ acts on the wire. The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is:

Two long straight wires $P$ and $Q$ carrying equal current $10\,A$ each were kept parallel to each other at $5\,cm$ distance. Magnitude of magnetic force experienced by $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ is $F_1$. If distance between wires is halved and currents on them are doubled,force $F_2$ on $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ will be :
