Whether the parallel currents in the same direction attract or repel, and whether the parallel currents in opposite direction attract or repel.
(e)

Answer to Problem 79P
The parallel currents in the same direction
Explanation of Solution
The magnetic force is determined from the cross product of the length (along the current direction) and the magnetic field. If the currents in the parallel wires are in the same direction, the forces will be attractive in nature.
Reversing the current’s direction causes the cross products to be oppositely directed. This causes the force on each wire is away from the other wire. Thus, antiparallel currents repels.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the parallel currents in the same direction

(f)

Answer to Problem 79P
The magnitudes and directions of the magnetic force due to the current carrying wires are consistent with Newton’s third law.
Explanation of Solution
The forces on the two currents are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. According to Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of current passing through the parallel wires, the forces can be identified as one opposes the other but equal in magnitude.
Both the parallel currents and antiparallel currents are consistent with Newton’s third law, since the forces on the two currents are equal and opposite in direction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the magnitudes and directions of the magnetic force due to the current carrying wires are consistent with Newton’s third law.

- A bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length. Use Hooke's law F = KAL and the fact that the change in length AL for a given force is proportional the length L (AL = CL), to determine the force constant for the test case and for the jump case.
