Consider two parallel wires, length L=7.0 m, separated by 0.030m. One wire (A) carries a current of 0.40 A, the other, B, carries a current of 0.60 A. Find the force (magnitude and direction) by current A on current B if both currents flow in the same direction. Find the force (magnitude and direction) by current A on current B if the currents flow in opposite directions.
