Question

Force per meter on two wires carrying 1 A, 1 m apart is
Options
A 6.7×10⁹ N
B 9.0×10⁻⁷ N
C 2.0×10⁻⁴ N
Correct Answer
D 3.0×10⁹ N
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F/L = μ₀ I₁ I₂/(2πd) = (4π×10⁻⁷ ×1×1)/(2π×1) = 2×10⁻⁷ N/m. Options show 2.0×10⁻⁴ (off by 1000). Likely typo. Closest is C.

Hint

F/L = μ₀ I₁ I₂/(2πr).
