MCQ
On passing electric current in two long straight conductors in mutually opposite directions, the magnetic force acting between them will be:
  • A
    Attractive
  • B
    Repulsive
  • C
    Both attractive and repulsive
  • D
    Neither attractive nor repulsive

Answer

  1. Repulsive

Explanation:

If electric current in two long straight conductors is in mutually opposite directions, the magnetic force acting between them will be repulsive.
