Question

In an experiment, setup A consists of two parallel wires which carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. A second setup B is identical to setup A, except that there is a metal plate between the wires.
Let FA and FB be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup A and B, respectively, then which of the following condition is correct:

Solution

The correct option is C FA=FB0
Placing a metal plate between the wires in setup B does not affect the magnetic force exerted between the wires since,
F=μ02πI1I2r2
is independent of dielectric constant (which changes due to metal sheet.)
