(C) lean towards each other
(D) neither attract nor repel each other.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer - (A)

Equal currents are passing through two very long and straight parallel wires in mutually opposite directions. They will attract each other.

● Explanation -

• According to Faraday's law of induction, when current is passed through conductor, magnetism is induced in the wire.
• When two parallel conductors are carrying current in same direction, magnetic force is attractive.
• When two parallel conductors are carrying current in opposite direction, magnetic force is repulsive.

Thanks dear...
