The force per unit length of two conductors carrying equal currents of...
Answer: a
Explanation: The force per unit length of two conductors is given by
F = μ I1xI2/2πD, where I1 = I2 = 5 and D = 0.2. Thus F = 4π x 10-7 x 52/ 2π x 0.2 = 25 x 10-6 units.

The force per unit length of two conductors carrying equal currents of...
Force per unit length between two conductors carrying equal currents can be calculated using the formula:
\[ F = \frac{{\mu_0 \cdot I_1 \cdot I_2 \cdot l}}{{2 \pi \cdot d}} \]
where:
\( F \) = force per unit length
\( \mu_0 \) = permeability of free space (\( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N/A}^2 \))
\( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \) = currents in the two conductors (\( 5 \, \text{A} \) each)
\( l \) = length of the conductors (\( 20 \, \text{cm} = 0.2 \, \text{m} \))
\( d \) = distance between the conductors (\( 20 \, \text{cm} = 0.2 \, \text{m} \))
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
\[ F = \frac{{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 0.2}}{{2\pi \cdot 0.2}} \]
Simplifying the equation:
\[ F = 25 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{N/m} \]
Therefore, the force per unit length between the two conductors is \( 25 \, \text{N/m} \), which is equivalent to \( 25 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{N/}\mu\text{m} \).
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' (25).
