MCQ
Two infinitely long parallel wires having linear charge densities $\lambda_1$  and $\lambda_2$ respectively are placed at a distance of $R$ metres. The force per unit length on either wire will be $K=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ 
  • A
    $K \frac{2 \lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • $K \frac{2 \lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R}$
  • C
    $K \frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • D
    $K \frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$K \frac{2 \lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R}$
$K \frac{2 \lambda_1 \lambda_2}{R}$
