Assertion $(A):$ A wire bent into an irregular shape with the points $P$ and $Q$ fixed. If a current $I$ passed through the wire, then the area enclosed by the irregular portion of the wire increases.

Reason $(R):$ Opposite currents carrying wires repel each other.

    Two long conductors, separated by a distance $d$ carry current $I_1$ and $I_2$ in the same direction. They exert a force $F$ on each other. Now the current in one of them is increased to two times and its directions is reversed. The distance is also increased to $3d$. The new value of the force between them is
