Q1medium

Two long and parallel straight wires A and B carrying currents of 5,A5,\text{A} and 10,A10,\text{A} respectively in the same direction are separated by a distance of 0.1,m0.1,\text{m}. What is the force per unit length experienced by wire B due to wire A?

Q2easy

Two parallel wires, P and Q, are separated by a distance rr. Wire P carries a current II into the page, and wire Q carries a current 2I2I out of the page. What is the nature of the force between them?

Q3hard

Three long, straight, parallel wires A, B, and C are placed in the same plane. Wire B is between A and C. The distance between A and B is d1d_1, and between B and C is d2d_2. Wires A and C carry current II in the same direction, while wire B carries current 2I2I in the opposite direction. What is the net force per unit length on wire B?

Q4medium

Two long parallel wires carrying currents I1I_1 and I2I_2 are separated by a distance dd. If the current I1I_1 is doubled and the distance dd is halved, what happens to the force per unit length between them?

Q5easy

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the force between two long parallel current-carrying wires?

Q6medium

Two long parallel wires are separated by 4,cm4,\text{cm}. If they carry currents of 3,A3,\text{A} and 5,A5,\text{A} respectively in opposite directions, what is the force per unit length between them?
