Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction, what is the nature of the force between them?
  • Step 1: Understand that we have two parallel wires.
  • Step 2: Know that each wire carries an electric current.
  • Step 3: Identify the direction of the currents in both wires; they are in the same direction.
  • Step 4: Recall the principle of electromagnetism that states parallel wires with currents can exert forces on each other.
  • Step 5: Determine the nature of the force: when currents are in the same direction, the wires attract each other.
