Question

.Refer to diagram 1

Two identical "infinite" wires lie in the x-y plane and are parallel to the x-axis:

- Wire 1 is a = 8.67 mm lies above the axis, and is fixed so it cannot move.

- Wire 2 is b = 6.59 mm below the axis, and is free to move up and down.

Wire 1 carries current I1 = 52.9 A. Both wires carry current in the positive x-direction, and the mass of 1 m of each wire is 1.33 g. Find I2, the current that must flow in wire 2 so it does not move up or down (the gravitational force downward is balanced by the magnetic force upward).
