The force per unit length between two pa...

The force per unit length between two parallel current carrying wires `= (mu_(0)i_(1)i_(2))/(2pir)` . The force is attractive when the current is in same direction and repulsive, when the they are in opposite directions. The force between the wires of two parallel wires is shown. We can determine the equilibrium position. Then we displace upper wire by a small distance, keeping lower wire fixed. If the wire returns to or tries to return to its equilibrium position, its equilibrium is stable. We can thus show that upper wire can execute linear simple harmonic motion or not. The length of wire AB is large as compared to separation between the wires.

If wire CD is in equilibrium position then which of the following may represent the directions of current in the wires

A

In AB, `A rarr B` and in CD, `C rarr D`

B

In AB, `A rarr B` and in CD, `D rarr C`

C

In AB, `B rarr A` and in CD, `D rarr C`

D

Any of the above is suitable
