Question

Celebration 3 Spring 2016 Physics 212 i) Three long parallel current-carrying wires, labeled I, l2, and ls, are equally spaced distance d from each other, and all carry equal magnitude currents perpendicular to plane of the page. Current Ih flows out of the page, current l2 and Is both flow page. What is the direction of the net magnetic force on wire 3 due to the other two currents? clearly labeled arrow in the figure, and also describe the direction by circling the answer below. ) (Indicate the final answer witha The force on 13 due to the other two currents is (circle just one!) up the page, down the page left, right, into page, out orage, fo force- some other direotion-(described below!) Explain your work briefly but clearly, drawing, labeling (and explaining) arrows and outlining the steps you went through to figure out the answer. (6 pts) L, : f( OI thought you nauded I thougnt you needed a b field direction
Please correct this problem and provide a clear explanation. Show all necessary work

Answer 1

force between two current carrying wires are attractive if they both carry the current in some direction so if we draw force vectors are hence net force will act down the apge explanation since I_1 and I_2 are in opposite direction they will repel each other and since I_2 and I_3 are in same direction they will attract each other
