Consider two parallel current carrying conductors separated by a distance. Which one of the following statements is true?
Consider two parallel current carrying conductors separated by a distance. Which one of the following statements is true?
Show Hint
Think of it as the "Magnetism Opposite" rule: Unlike electrostatic charges (which attract), anti-parallel currents repel; while like electrostatic charges (which repel), parallel currents attract.

- Currents flowing in same direction will lead to repulsion
- Currents flowing in opposite directions will lead to attraction
- The conductors will always attract each other
- The conductors will always repel each other
- Currents flowing in same direction will lead to attraction and opposite directions will lead to repulsion

In a uniform magnetic field of \(0.049 T\), a magnetic needle performs \(20\) complete oscillations in \(5\) seconds as shown. The moment of inertia of the needle is \(9.8 \times 10 kg m^2\). If the magnitude of magnetic moment of the needle is \(x \times 10^{-5} Am^2\); then the value of '\(x\)' is
