Two very long, parallel wires carry electrical current in the positive z-direction. Wire #1 crosses the x-y plane at (0,5) while wire #2 crosses the x-y plane at (6, 0) (all distances in cm). Each wire carries 5 mA. a. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field produced by wire #1 at the location of wire #2 b. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field produced by wire #2 at the location of wire #1 c. Sketch this experimental setup showing the coordinate system, the two wires, and the magnetic fields for which you calculated the strengths in a. and b. above. c. Calculate the magnitude of the force per unit length that wire #1 exerts on wire #2 d. Calculate the magnitude of the force per unit length that wire #2 exerts on wire #1. e. Write these forces per unit length in component form.
