5. The magnitude of the magnetic field around a single current-carrying wire with current I, Hol is given be B = where 4= 47 × 10-7 T·m/A. The formula for the force on a single 2πη current-carrying wire with current I, is F = ILB, if the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field. What is the magnitude of the force between two parallel wires, each carrying a 1A current, if the wires are 10 m long and 2 m apart.
1. Explain why the magnetic field would not be unique (that is, not have a single value) at a point in space where magnetic field lines might cross. (Consider the direction of the field at such a point.) List the ways in which magnetic field lines and electric field lines are similar. For example, the field direction is tangent to the line at any point in space. Also list the ways in which they differ. For example, electric force is parallel to electric field lines, whereas magnetic force on moving charges is perpendicular to magnetic field lines.
