Answer:
The force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
distance between the two parallel wire, d = 38 cm = 0.38 m
current in the first wire, I₁ = 4.0 kA
current in the second wire, I₂ = 8.0 kA
Force per unit length, between two parallel wires is given as;

where;
μ₀ is constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A
Substitute the given values in the above equation and calculate the force per unit length

Therefore, the force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m
Hope it helped you.
A. Acceleration is a wrong answer. Acceleration is the rate of change to in velocity. It involves a change in speed and direction.
B. Force is a wrong answer. Force is a directions from push/or pull.
C. Inertia is a correct. Inertia is a tendency of an object to stay at the rest or preserve its state of motion.
D. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is the placement of an object during a specific unit of time. It has two measurements are needed to determine velocity.
