Question
A long horizontal wire carries a current of I1 = 47.5 A. A second wire, made of 0.450 mm diameter copper wire, is 65.0 cm below the first wire and is held in suspension magnetically.
The mass density of Copper is 8.93×103 kg/m3. What is the magnitude and direction of the current in the bottom wire? Give a + sign if I2 is parallel to I1, and a - sign if I2 is opposite to I1.

- Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.400 m and carries a current of 25.0 A in the +x direction. The second wire lies along the x-axis. The wires exert attractive forces on each other, and the force per unit length on each wire is 290 μN/m.
