Physics · The force between two parallel currents carrying conductors-definition of ampere
Two straight parallel wires carrying current in the opposite directions repe eac
Two straight parallel wires carrying current in the opposite directions repe each other, because of
- A. Electrical force between them
- B. Magnetic force between them
- C. Gravitational force between them
- D. Nuclear force between them
Step-by-step solution
Two straight parallel wires carrying currents produce magnetic fields. When currents flow in opposite directions, the magnetic fields interact, resulting in a repulsive magnetic force between the wires, as described by Ampère's force law.
