Question

Three long, straight wires are seen end-on in the figure below. The distance between the wires is 

r = 0.258 m.

 Wires A and B carry current 

IA = IB = 1.54 A,

 and wire C carries current 

IC = 3.42 A.

 Assume (for example) the only forces exerted on wire A are due to wires B and C. Find the force per unit length exerted on the following. (Express your answers in vector form.)

 
(a) wire A
fA = 
 
 
 
  N/m


(b) wire B
fB =
