Two very long, straight and parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $I$ respectively. The distance between the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time, a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is
  • A$\frac{{{\mu _0}Iqv}}{{2\pi d}}$
  • B$\frac{{{\mu _0}Iqv}}{{\pi d}}$
  • C$\frac{{2{\mu _0}Iqv}}{{\pi d}}$
  • D$0$
