Two long parallel copper wires carry currents of $5\,A$ each in opposite directions. If the wires are separated by a distance of $0.5\,m$,then the force between the two wires is

  • A
    $10^{-5}\,N$,attractive
  • B
    $10^{-5}\,N$,repulsive
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-5}\,N$,attractive
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-5}\,N$,repulsive
