 Two circular loops are parallel, coaxial, and almost in contact 1.00

Two circular loops are parallel, coaxial, and almost in contact 1.00 mm apart as shown in the following figure. Each loop is 10.0 cm in radius. The top loop carries a clockwise current of 140 A. The bottom loop carries a counterclockwise current of 140 A. 140 A 140 A (i) Calculate the magnetic force that the bottom loop exerts on the top loop. (1i) The upper loop has a mass of 0.021 kg. Calculate its acceleration, assuming that the only forces acting on it are the force in part (i) and its weight. (The magnetic force on each segment of the loop can be approximated as being made from an infinite straight wire if the separation of the loops is much less than the radius of the loops.)
