The image illustrates two parallel, vertical arrows labeled \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \), which represent electric currents flowing upwards. These two arrows depict two current-carrying wires.

To the right of these wires, there is a small circle labeled \( q \) with an arrow pointing to the right, labeled \( v \). The circle represents a charged particle with a charge \( q \) moving with a velocity \( v \) to the right.

This diagram is often used in physics to analyze the magnetic forces acting on a moving charged particle in the vicinity of current-carrying wires, using principles such as the right-hand rule and the concept of magnetic fields surrounding the wires.
