Question: 8 . Two long parallel current - carrying wires ( P ) and ( Q ) are separated by 0 .

8. Two long parallel current-carrying wires \( P \) and \( Q \) are separated by 0.10 m . The current in wire \( P \) is 5.0 A .
The magnetic force on a length of 0.50 m of wire P due to the current in wire Q is \(2.0\times 10^{-5}\mathrm{~N}\).
(a)
State and explain the magnitude of the force on a length of 0.50 m of wire Q due to the current in P .
(b)
Calculate the current in wire Q.
(c)
Another current-carrying wire \( R \) is placed parallel to wires \( P \) and \( Q \) and halfway between them as shown.
The net magnetic force on wire Q is now zero.
(c.i)
State the direction of the current in R, relative to the current in P .
