Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electromagnetic Field Theory - Quiz(MCQ)
Two straight parallel conductors carry equal currents in opposite direction. The force between them is
A)
zero
B)
repulsive
C)
attractive
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   repulsive


Explanation : When two current carrying conductors are placed parallelly, there will be a force acting between them. The force is attractive if direction of currents in the conductor is same and it is repulsive if the direction of the currents is opposite. This can easily be explained by right hand rule.
