Two coaxial solenoids of different radii carry current $I$ in the same direction. Let $\;{\overrightarrow {\;F} _1}$ be the magnetic force on the inner solenoid due to the outer one and $\;{\overrightarrow {\;F} _2}$ be the magnetic force on the outer solenoid due to the inner one. Then

(Both solenoids are taken to be ideal in nature.)

Both wires will attract each other, but net force on each wire will be zero.

Concept: Two current carrying elements attract each other if direction of current is same.

$\overrightarrow {{F_1}}  =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0$
