Explain why two straight parallel conductor carrying current in same direction attract each other.

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

The magnetic field produced by wire A at the vicinity of wire B will be vertically downward. By Fleming left hand rule, the force experienced by wire B will be towards wire A. Thus two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction attract each other.
