When currents are moving in the same direction in two conductors, then the force will be:
Correct answer: A. Attractive
- A. Attractive
- B. Repulsive
- C. Retracting
- D. Opposing
Explanation
If the currents in both wires flow in the same direction, the forces acting on the two wires are attractive and they will move towards each other. When the currents flow in the same direction the magnetic field will be opposite and the wires will attract.

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.
