Two thin long parallel wires separated by a distance $b$ are carrying a current $i$ $A$ each. The magnitude of the force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{b^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi b}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi b}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi b^2}$
