The next two problems both relate to the following situation.
Two very long wires run parallel to each other (both are in the plane of the screen), as shown in the figure below. Both currents, I1 and I2, flow in the same direction (to the right). The figure shows only a relatively small length of each wire. The separation distance between the wires is d.

If I1=1.23A,I2=3.22A, and d=5.74cm, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at any location along the top wire?
Enter your answer in units of microtesla, 10-6 Tesla. For example, if your calculation produces a value of 1.2310-7T, first convert units to 1.2310-1(10-6(T)) or 0.12310-6T, then enter your answer as 0.123.
Question 21

If I1=3.27A,I2=1.74A, and d=6.5cm, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on a 3.04 cm length of the bottom wire?
Enter your answer in units of micronewtons, 10-6. Newtons. For example, if your calculation produces a value of 1.2310-7N, first convert units to 1.2310-1(10-6(N)) or 0.12310-6N, then enter your answer as 0.123.
