Two long conductors, separated by a distance d\mathrm{d}d carry current I1\mathrm{I}_1I1​ and I2\mathrm{I}_2I2​ in the same direction. They exert a force FFF on each other. Now the current in one of them increased to two times and its direction reversed. The distance is also increased to 3 d3 \mathrm{~d}3 d. The new value of the force between them is
