When currents are moving in the same direction in two conductors, the force will be:
Correct answer: A. Attraction
- A. Attraction
- B. Replusive
- C. Retracting
- D. Opposing
Explanation
The force between two conductors with currents flowing in the same direction is attraction. This is because the magnetic fields produced by the two currents are aligned in the same direction. When two magnetic fields are aligned in the same direction, they attract each other.The force of attraction between two conductors with currents flowing in the same direction is given by the following equation:F = μ0I1I2 / 2πrwhere:F is the force of attractionμ0 is the permeability of free spaceI1 and I2 are the currents in the two conductorsr is the distance between the conductors

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
