Two long parallel wires are separated by a distance of 0.400m as in the figure. The currents and have directions shown. 

  1. calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.2 m length of the other. Is the force attractive or repulsive?
  2. If the current is doubled, so that and . Now, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on 1.2 m length?
