Two long, parallel straight wires are separated by a distance of`0.2` cm and carry current of 10 A and 8 A.
Find the magnitude of the attractive force exerted on 1 m length of one wire by the other wire.

Explanation

To find the magnitude of the attractive force exerted on 1 m length of one wire by the other wire, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Given Data:**
- Distance between the wires, \( D = 0.2 \, \text{cm} = 0.2 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} = 0.002 \, \text{m} \)
- Current in the first wire, \( I_1 = 10 \, \text{A} \)
- Current in the second wire, \( I_2 = 8 \, \text{A} \)
