The correct answer is: \( 2 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{Nm}^{-1} \)

Given: the distance between parallel conductors d=1 m, current in both parallel conductor is i1=i2=1 A.

The force per unit length of attraction between two parallel current-carrying conductors is given by,

f=μ0i1i22πd

f=2×10-7×1×11=2×10-7 N m-1.
