A

A and B will repel each other with same force

B

A and B with attract each other with same force

C

A will attract B but will repel A

D

A and B will attract each other with different forces

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Two parllel wires carrying currents in the same direction attract each other because magnetic forces on the two wires act towards each other.
