a) What is the magnetic field at a distance of 2.0 cm from a 10.0 Amp current? b) If another wire with a current of 5.5 A runs parallel to the first at a distance of 2.0 cm for a span (length of) 0.54 m what is the magnetic force on the wire?
Household electrical wires regularly carry currents in excess of 10 Amps. A physics student realizes that some of the wires in his home are very close to one another and wonders about how they might affect one another.
