Question
Wires $x$ and $y$ experience a force when electrons pass through them as shown in the diagram below.The force on wire $y$ will be toward(A) $A$(B) $B$(C) $C$(D) $D$
Step 1
The direction of current is opposite to the direction of electron flow. So, in wire $x$, the current is from $B$ to $A$ and in wire $y$, the current is from $D$ to $C$. Show more…

When electrons flow from point $A$ to point $B$ in the wire shown in the diagram, a force will be produced on the wire (A) toward $\mathrm{N}$ (B) toward S (C) into the page (D) out of the page
Two long wires are hanging freely. They are joined first in parallel and then in series and they are connected with a battery. In both cases, which type of force acts between the two wires? (A) attraction force when in parallel and repulsion force when in series. (B) repulsion force when in parallel and attraction force when in series. (C) repulsion force in both cases. (D) attraction force in both cases.
Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction, as shown in the diagram above. One wire carries a 2 -ampere current, and the other carries a $1-$ ampere current. The force of magnetism acting on the 1 . wire is (A) half of the force acting on the 2 A wire and the wires attract (B) half of the force acting on the 2 wire and the wires repel (C) twice the force acting on the 2 wire and the wires attract (D) twice the force acting on the 2 wire and the wires repel (E) the same as the force acting on the 2 A wire and the wires attract
