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
