Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.0 $\mathrm{m}$ . Each wire has a 30 -A current, but the currents are in opposite directions. (a) Determine the magnitude of the net magnetic field midway between the wires. (b) Determine the net magnetic field at a point 1.0 $\mathrm{m}$ to the side of one wire and 3.0 $\mathrm{m}$ from the other wire.
Two long, parallel wires separated by a distance of 1.0 cm both have length 20 m, and one of the wires carries a current of 5.0 A. What is the current in the other wire if the force between these two wires is 0.003 N?

A straight, horizontal segment of wire carries a current in the $+x$ -direction in a magnetic field that is directed in the $-z$ -direction. (a) Is the magnetic force on the wire directed in the $(1)-x-,(2)+z-,(3)+y-,$ or (4) $-y$ -direction? Explain. (b) If the wire is $1.0 \mathrm{~m}$ long and carries a current of $5.0 \mathrm{~A}$ and the magnitude of the magnetic field is $0.30 \mathrm{~T}$, what is the magnitude of the force on the wire?
