| where $L$ is the length of the wire. From here, the rest is just a matter of creating arrows (lines 34-37), showing the direction of the magnetic field (lines 39-60), and modelling a charge travelling through the wires (lines 62-75). | where $L$ is the length of the wire.

| - | Based on the above calculations, the maximum magnetic force acting on each wire for a 4.5 A current is ___. Using the right-hand rule, or checking the signs of the calculated forces, you'll find that the wires attract each other when the current goes in the same direction, and the wires will repel each other when the current goes in opposite directions. | + | Based on the above calculations, the maximum magnetic force acting on each wire for a 4.5 A current is $2.03*10^-5$ N. Using the right-hand rule, or checking the signs of the calculated forces, you'll find that the wires attract each other when the current goes in the same direction, and the wires will repel each other when the current goes in opposite directions. |
