Question: Current - carrying wires generate magnetic fields There will be a force between these two wires: a ) The strengths of the magnetic fields generated

Current-carrying wires generate magnetic
fields There
will be a force between these two wires:
a) The strengths of the magnetic fields generated by each wire are
B1= B2=
b) The strength of the force on wire 1 by wire 2 is (for a length l):
F12= I1lB2=
c) The strength of the force on wire 2 by wire 1 is (for a length l):
F21= I2lB1=
d) How does F12 compare to F21?
e) What direction is the force on wire 1 by wire 2?
f) What direction is the force on wire 2 by wire 1?
g) Suppose I1> I2, how does the force on wire 1 compare to the force on wire 2
