Question
NORTH Wire W ire WE AST Wire 1 in the figure above has a constant current 11 that goes due North. Wire 2 has a constant current 12 that goes due South. What are the directions of the magnetic forces on each wire? O The force on Wire 1 is directed North and the force on Wire 2 is directed South. O The force on Wire 1 is directed South and the force on Wire 2 is directed North. OThe force on both wires is directed into the page. The force on Wire 1 is directed East and the force on Wire 2 is directed West. The force on Wire 1 is directed West and the force on Wire 2 is directed East. Submit Answer Tries 0/100Explanation / Answer
Use the Right Hand Rule for determination of the direction of force. Since both the wires having current in the opposite directions, therefore the force experienced by each will be repulsive.
Therefore, the force on wire 1 is directed to west and the force on wire is directed to east [last option].
