"two long parallel wires that are 0.30 m apart carry currents of 5.0 a and 8.0 a in the opposite direction. find the magnitude of the force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other wire and indicate if the force is attractive or repulsive. (μ0 = 4π × 10-7 t • m/a) "

Two long parallel wires are separated by a distance of 0.200 m. The currents I1 and I2 have the directions shown. If I1 = 2.5 A and I2 = 4 A, calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.20 m length of the other. (μ0 = 4π x 10^(-7) Tm/A) Wire 1 d = 0.2 m Wire 2 120 μN 24 N 36 kN 12 μN 24 mN
