Question
The figure below shows two long, straight wires in the xy plane and parallel to the x axis. One wire is at y = -6.0 cm and the other wire is at y = +6.0 cm. The current in each wire is 22 A. Find the magnitude of the force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other.

force per unit length =(uo/2pi)*(i1*i2/r)
=(4pi*10^-7/2pi)*(22*22/12*10^-2)
=8.066*10^-4 N/m
