Force between two parallel current carrying conductors
Not what you're looking for?
See attached file for full problem description.
Two infinitely long wires are placed parallel to each other at a distance d. One wire carries the current I_1 and the other carries the current I_2. Using the Lorentz Law of force, F = q (E + V x B), find the force density (i.e., force per unit length) that one wire exerts on the other.
