Two parallel wires carry a current I in the same direction. Midway between these wires is a third wire, also parallel to the other two, which carries a current 0.5 I, but in the direction opposite from the first two wires. In which direction are the net forces on the outer wires? O Both forces on the two wires are in the same direction in space. O Both forces are away from the center wire. O Both forces are toward the center wire. O Since the net forces are zero, there is no direction.

Magnetic and electric field lines are in many ways similar, with few crucial differences. Which of the properties listed below does NOT apply to both fields? O All of these properties apply to both E and B field lines. The density of lines is proportional to the field strength in that area. Field lines never intersect. Tangent to the line at a point gives you the direction of the field as that point. O Field lines form closed loops.

Two meter-long parallel wires each have a linear mass density of 30 g/m and carry the same current of 0.50 mA. The are hung from the same support bar by strings of length .080 m so that the wires run parallel to the ground. The current causes the wires to repel from each other, so they hang with an angle θ = 20◦ between the supporting strings of the two wires. Are the currents in the same or opposite directions? What is the magnitude of the current?

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.400 m and carries a current of 25.0 A in the +x direction. The second wire lies along the x-axis. The wires exert attractive forces on each other, and the force per unit length on each wire is 290 μN/m. What is the y-value (in m) of the line in the xy-plane where the total magnetic field is zero? .207 Use the right-hand rule to determine the possible location of a point where the magnetic field is zero. Write an expression for the force of attraction between the wires, find expressions for the magnetic fields due to each wire at the point, and set them equal. Use your expression for the force per unit length to eliminate one of the currents, and solve for the required distance. m
