Question: 1 . Two protons ( with charge q = e ) move parallel to the x - axis in opposite directions with the same speed

1. Two protons (with charge q=e) move parallel to the x-axis in opposite directions with the same speed v, producing electric and magnetic fields around. At the instant shown:
(a) find the magnitudes of electric and magnetic forces between the protons and determine their ratio Fm/Fe.
(b) Instead of protons, now two long thin insulating rods are placed parallel to each other, distance r apart. They are both charged with the same uniform charge density per unit length =Q/L, creating electric fields around them. Find the electric force per unit length between the two rods.
(c) Next, both rods are pulled lengthwise, parallel to their orientation, with the same speed v. In this manner, currents are created in the rods, producing magnetic fields around them. Find the magnetic force per unit length between the two rods and determine their ratio Fm/Fe.
