Is like currents of opposite charge attract or repel each other
Parallel currents attract regardless of the charge carriers. Note that the direction of the current is opposite the direction of the motion of a negative charge.Sandeep T S said:Is like currents of opposite charge attract or repel each other

Opposite charges attract each other, meaning that they pull towards one another. This is due to the difference in electrical potential between the two charges.
Like charges repel each other because they have the same electrical potential and therefore experience a force pushing them away from each other.
The force that causes opposite charges to attract each other is known as the electrostatic force. This force is a fundamental force of nature and is responsible for the interaction between charged particles.
The strength of the electrostatic force between opposite charges is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them. The force decreases as the distance between the charges increases and increases as the magnitude of the charges increases.
In certain situations, opposite charges can repel each other. This can occur if the charges are moving at high speeds or if they are located within a strong magnetic field. However, in most cases, opposite charges will attract each other.
