Two long parallel wires, each with a mass per unit length of 40 g/m, are supported in a horizontal plane by 6.0-cm-long strings, as shown in figure. Each wire carries the same current I, causing the wires to repel each other so that the angle θ between the supporting strings is 16?.(a) Are the currents in the same or opposite directions?(b) Determine the magnitude of eachcurrent.
