In a physics experiment, two straight parallel wires are separated by a distance of 1.1 cm. They are both 2.1 meters long and they carry currents in the same direction. Wire 1 carries a current of 13.5 amps and wire 2 carries a current of 15.1 amps. They exert a weak attractive force between them. Calculate the magnitude of that force in millinewtons (mN).

Two infinitely long, straight wires are parallel and separated by a distance of one meter. They carry currents in the same direction. Wire 1 carries 6 times the current as wire 2 does. Determine the perpendicular distance from wire 1 to a point where the net magnetic field is zero between the two wires.
Each of two straight parallel wires separated by a distance of 20 cm carries a current of 25 amps in the same direction. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at a point that is 15 cm from each wire?

Two infinitely long, straight wires are parallel and separated by a distance of 0.91 meter. They carry currents in the same direction. Wire 1 carries two times the current that wire 2 carries. On a line drawn perpendicular to both wires, locate the spot (relative to wire 1) where the net magnetic field is zero. Assume that wire 1 lies to the left of wire 2 and note that there are three regions to consider on this line: to the...
Two straight parallel wires, running north/south are separated by 12 cm and carry currents of 4 A in the same direction (north). Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires. Now find the magnetic field 6 cm east of the "easternmost" wire. Also, calculate the force of one wire on the other. Is it attractive or repulsive?
5. (10 pts.) Each of two straight parallel wires separated by a distance of 120 em carries a current of 65 amps in the same direction. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at a point that is 150 em from each wire?
Two long, straight, parallel wires separated by a distance d carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. The bottom wire carries a current of 6.0 A. Point C is at the midpoint between the wires and point O is a distance 0.50d below the 6-A wire as suggested in the figure. The total magnetic field at point O is zero tesla. a. Determine the value of the current, I, in the top wire. Determine the magnitude of...
