Two meter-long parallel wires each have a linear mass density of 30 g/m and carry the same current of 0.50 mA. The are hung from the same support bar by strings of length .080 m so that the wires run parallel to the ground. The current causes the wires to repel from each other, so they hang with an angle θ = 20◦ between the supporting strings of the two wires. Are the currents in the same or opposite directions? What is the magnitude of the current?

Consider a long, horizontal Large Wire with current of 10 A running through it. We want to levitate a horizontal, thin, 0.50 m length of wire above it. If the thin wire has a mass of 10 grams, and a current of 300 mA, how far above the Large Wire will it hover (net force of zero) due to magnetic and gravitational forces? A. If the thin wire hovers above the Large Wire due to their magnetic fields, are their currents going the same direction, or opposite directions. Explain. B. Draw a diagram and label the directions of currents, and all other relevant quantities and vectors. C. Find the distance above the Large Wire the small thin wire will hover (net force of zero). D. Would your answers to parts A and C change if we wanted to find a distance below (rather than above) the Large Wire that the smaller thin wire could hover, due to their magnetic fields. Explain. Don't calculate any values but draw a new diagram and explain how this situation compares to the problem above.
Write down an expression for the force experienced by an electron moving with a velocity, v, in a magnetic field B. By equating this expression to the force required to cause electrons to follow a circular path of radius, r, derive an expression for the ratio, (?⁄?) for an electron in terms of the magnetic field strength, the radius of the circular path and the accelerating potential, V.
