MCQ
Which of the following statement is not correct about two parallel conductors carrying equal currents in the same direction?
  • A
    Each of the conductors will experience a force
  • B
    The two conductors will repel each other
  • C
    There are concentric lines of force around each conductor
  • D
    Each of the conductors will move if not prevented from doing so

Answer

  1. The two conductors will repel each other

Explanation:

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.
