Two long, parallel wires carry currents of different magnitudes. If the current in oneof the wires is doubled and the current in the other wire is halved, what happens tothe magnitude of the force between these two wires?It is reduced by a factor of 2.It stays the same.It is quadrupled.It is doubled.It is tripled. A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force dueto Earth's magnetic field on the wire?horizontally towards the northhorizontally towards the eastvertically upwardhorizontally towards the westhorizontally towards the south

A bar magnet has two poles -- a north pole and a south pole. If the bar was cut in half each half would be either north or south. each half would have its own north pole and south pole. each half couldn't be attracted to the other half. each half would lose its magnetism. The total resistance in a circuit containing resistors connected in series is given by the sum of the individual resistances the sum of the currents the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances the sum of the voltages
