Two long and parallel wires carry currents of 8 A and 12 A in opposite directions, as shown in the diagram. The distance between the wires is 4 cm. I=8A 4 cm I=12 A a. How much force per unit length is given by one wire on the other? b. Where does the force on each wire go? c. What is the total force applied to a 12-A wire 30 cm long? d. Calculate the magnetic force generated by the 8-A wire at the position of Wire 12-A. e. Where does the magnetic field generated by 8 A wire go in the 12A wire position? 57 Two long and parallel wires carry currents of 8 A and 12 A in opposite directions, as shown in the diagram.
