Question

Consider two sections of wires with currents as shown.
Select T-True, F-False. If the first is T and the rest F, enter TFFFF.

A) The force on the short wire due to the long wire is toward the right.
B) If a positively charged particle were placed at rest at point P (i.e. sitting just outside the short wire), it would feel zero force from magnetic fields
C) If the short wire were moved further away from the long wire, the net force on it would be smaller.
D) If the short wire were free to rotate about its fixed center (P), from the position shown, its inital rotation would be clockwise.
E) The magnetic field of the long wire points into the paper at the location of the short wire.
