Two parallel wires are separated by a distance of 0.05 m. Wire 1 (located at the left) carries a current of 12.0 A. Wire 2 (located at the right) carries a current of 6.0 A flowing in the opposite direction. 2.1. Find the (a) magnitude and direction of the magnetic field created by wire 1 at wire 2, (b) force exerted by wire 1 on the 2.0 m long section of wire 2, and (c) force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 if current 1 is going up and current 2 is going down. 2.2. Find the (a) magnitude and direction of the magnetic field created by wire 1 at wire 2, (b) force exerted by wire 1 on the 2.0 m long section of wire 2, and (c) force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 if both currents are going up.
