Question

Two parallel wires carry electric current in opposite directions as shown in the figure to the right. The current in each wire produces a magnetic field, and each wire experiences a magnetic force due to the field produced by the other wire.

Two parallel wires carry electric current in opposite directions as shown in the figure to the right. The current in each wire produces a magnetic field, and each wire experiences a magnetic force due to the field produced by the other wire. n the region of space near wire 1, in what direction does the magnetic field produced by wire 2 point? O up down O eft O right O into the screen 1 O out of the screen n what direction is the magnetic force on wire 1, due to the magnetic field produced by wire 2? O up down O left O right O into the screen O out of the screen

Explanation / Answer

using right hand curl rule , the direction of magnetic field by wire 2 at the location of wire 1 comes out to be in outward direction

two wire carrying current in opposite direction repel each other . hence wire 1 experience magnetic force in left direction
