Two infinitely long parallel filaments each carry 50 A in the $a_z$ direction. If the filaments lie in the plane y = 0 and x = 5 mm, find the vector force per meter length on the filament passing through the origin.

Step 1
Since the filaments are carrying current in the same direction, they will attract each other. Therefore, the force will be directed towards the other filament. Show more…
