Q. Two current carrying conductors placed side by side experience a force of attraction

A
When current direction of both conductors are same
B
When current direction of both conductors are opposite
C
Independent of the direction of currents
D
Only when one conductor is carrying current
Solution:

Once the magnetic field has been calculated, the magnetic force expression can be used to calculate the force. The direction is obtained from the right hand rule. Note that two wires carrying current in the same direction attract each other, and they repel if the currents are opposite in direction.
