**Diagram Explanation:**

The image illustrates two vertical, parallel wires carrying currents and a charged particle located to the right of the wires.

**Components:**

1. **Current-Carrying Wires:**
   - There are two vertical arrows representing the directions of the electric currents.
   - The left wire carries a current \( I_1 \) going upward.
   - The right wire carries a current \( I_2 \) also going upward.

2. **Charged Particle:**
   - A small circle labeled \( q \) represents a charged particle positioned to the right of the wires.
   - An arrow labeled \( v \) points horizontally to the right, indicating the velocity vector of the charged particle.

This setup can be used to study magnetic forces on moving charges and the magnetic fields created by currents. The image is a visual aid for understanding interactions like the Lorentz force and Ampère's law in electromagnetism studies.
