The figure shows, in cross section, several conductors that carry currents through the plane of the figure. The currents have the magnitudes I1 = 3.6 A, I2 = 6.1 A, and I3 = 2.5 A, and the directions shown. Four paths, labeled a through d, are shown

Five long current-carrying parallel wires are separated from each other by a distance d = 20 cm, as shown in the following figure. The currents into the page are I1 = 2.0 A, I4 = 4.0 A, and I5 = 2.0 A; the currents out of the page are I2 = 4.0 A and I3 = 0.25 A. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force per unit length acting on wire 3 due to currents in the other wires?
