MCQ
It two parallel wires carry current in opposite directions:
  • A
    The wires attract each other.
  • B
    The wires repel each other.
  • C
    The wires experience neither attraction nor repulsion.
  • D
    The forces of attraction or repulsion do not depend on current direction.

Answer

  1. The wires repel each other.

Explanation:

If two parallel wires carry current in opposite directions, they repel each other whereas if two parallel wires carry current in same direction, they attract each other.
