Two wires are placed in parallel; repulsion force and current in these two wires are respectively. What will be a force if the current is doubled in each wire
(4)
If the current is doubled in each wire the force will be 4F. This can be explained as follows:
We know that the force of repulsion per unit length between two wires carrying current in opposite direction is:
Thus, when both are doubled, the force between them becomes four times.
