Questions & Answers

Q: How can we determine the direction of force between parallel wires with opposite currents?

The right-hand rule helps determine the force direction between wires by considering current flow and magnetic field interaction. For wires with opposite currents, there is a force of repulsion.

Q: What is the formula to calculate the magnitude of force on a wire in a magnetic field?

The formula involves current, length, magnetic field strength, and constants. By calculating the magnetic field strength due to one wire and substituting it into the formula, one can determine the force magnitude.
