Two long wires (1 and 2) run parallel to each other with wire 1 suspended directly above wire 2. The wires (1 and 2) respectively carry currents of
I1=24.0 A
and
I2=59.0 A
and they both have a weight per unit length of 0.088 N/m. Determine the distance that wire 1 should be mounted above wire 2 in order for it to be held in place by magnetic repulsion.
