Two wires lie in the plane of the page. Wire 1 carries conventional current to the left, and wire 2 carries conventional current to the right. Choose from the following possible directions to answer the question below: What is the direction (a – h) of the magnetic force that wire 1 exerts on wire 2?

Hi, and thank you for your explanation BUT I still a little lost with your details since what I learned in class was with a formula F=ILBsinθ where θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field. The force is perpendicular to the field and the current. The equivalent formula for the force on a moving charged particle of charge q and velocity v is F, equals, q, v, B, sine, theta,F=qvBsinθ, with the force perpendicular to field and velocity.
Can you please go in more detail description of your results - thanks!!
