Two long straight parallel conductors are carrying currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ in the same direction. The work done per unit length,when the distance between them is doubled,is:

  • A
    $2 \times \frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} i_1 i_2$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} i_1 i_2 \ln(2)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} i_1 i_2 \ln(4)$
  • D
    $0$

$A$ straight horizontal conducting rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. If $I$ is the current passing through the rod,then in order that the tension in the wires is zero,the magnetic field set up normal to the conductor is (Neglect the mass of the wire,$g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ long wire $A$ carries a current of $10 \, A$. Another long wire $B$,which is parallel to $A$ and separated by $0.1 \, m$ from $A$,carries a current of $5 \, A$ in the opposite direction to that in $A$. What is the magnitude and nature of the force experienced per unit length of $B$ $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A)$?
