Two long, straight wires are parallel and 32 cm apart.
(a) If each wire carries a current of 51 A in the same direction, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force per meter (in N/m) exerted on each wire?
N/m
(b) Does the force pull the wires together or push them apart?
o The wires are pulled together.
o The wires are pushed apart.
o The magnetic force per meter is zero.
(c) What happens if the currents flow in opposite directions?
o The wires are pulled together.
o The wires are pushed apart.
The magnetic force per meter is zero.
