Question
Which of the following statement is not correct about two parallel conductors carrying equal currents in the same direction?
✓
Answer
- The two conductors will repel each other
When two conductors carrying equal current both the conductor experiences a force which is perpendicular to the wire and are equal.
Since both these forces are equal and towards each other, both the current carrying wire will be repelling each other.
