Two very long, straight, parallel wires A and B carry currents of 10 A and 20 A respectively and are at a distance 20 cm apart, as shown in Figure. lf a third wire C (length 15 cm) having a current of 10 A is placed between them, how much force, will act on C? The direction of current in all the three wires is same.

A galvanometer has a resistance of 8 Ω. It gives a full-scale deflection for a current of 10 mA. It is to be converted into an ammeter of range 5 A. The only shunt resistance available is of 0.02 Ω, which is not suitable for this conversion. Find the value of resistance R that must be connected in series with the galvanometer (Figure) to get ammeter of desired range.
