Two free parallel wires carrying currents in the opposite directions
- attract each other
- repel each other
- do not effect each other
- get rotated to be perpendicular to each other
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$F=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 I_{1} I_{2}}{r}$
The force is attractive, if current in two conductors is in same direction; and repulsive, if currents are in opposite directions.

Magnetic Force
Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion force that results from the motion of electrically charged particles. The magnets are attracted or repellent to one another due to this force. A compass, a motor, the magnets that hold the refrigerator door, train tracks, and modern roller coasters are all examples of magnetic power.
A magnetic field is generated by all moving charges, and the charges that pass through its regions feel a force. Depending on whether the force is attractive or repulsive, it may be positive or negative. The magnetism force is determined by the object's charge, velocity, and magnetic field.

The magnitude of the magnetic force depends on how much charge is in how much motion in each of the objects and how far apart they are.
Mathematically, we can write magnetic force as:
A charge will feel a force as it passes through a magnetic field at an angle. This force is given by the equation:
A force acts on the motion of charge q traveling with velocity v in a Magnetism field, and this force is:
- Perpendicular to both v and B.
- Perpendicular to sinθ (where θ is the angle between v and B).
- Proportional to the charge q.
- Proportional to the velocity v.
