Two long parallel copper wires carry currents of \(5\) A each in opposite directions. If the wires are separated by a distance of \(0.5\) m, then the force between the two wires will be:
1. \(10^{-5} ~\text{N} \), attractive
2. \(10^{-5}~\text{N} \), repulsive
3. \(2 \times 10^{-5}~\text{N} \), attractive 
4. \(2 \times 10^{-5} ~\text{N} \), repulsive

What will happen if two thin, long parallel wires separated by a distance \(d\) carry current \(i\) in the same direction?
1. attract each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi d^2}\).
2. repel each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi d^2}\).
3. attract each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi d}\).
4. repel each other with a force per unit length of \(\frac{\mu_0 i^2}{2\pi d}\).

A rectangular loop carrying a current \(I_1,\) is situated near a long straight wire carrying a steady current \(I_2.\) If the wire is parallel to one of the sides of the loop and is in the plane of the loop as shown in the figure, then the current loop will:
          
1. move away from the wire.
2. move towards the wire.
3. remain stationary.
4. rotate about an axis parallel to the wire.

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 \(B\)?
\(\left(\mu_0= 4\pi \times 10^{-7}~\text{weber/(amp-m)}\right)\)
1. Repulsive force of \(10^{-4}~\text{N/m}\)
2. Attractive force of \(10^{-4}~\text{N/m}\)
3. Repulsive force of \(2 \pi \times 10^{-5}~\text{N/m}\)
4. Attractive force of \(2 \pi \times 10^{-5}~\text{N/m}\)
