Magnetic Field due to a Current
Show that two straight wires running parallel to each other,
each carrying the same current I, exert forces on each
other.
(a) Draw a diagram showing how this force arises
(b) Find the force, and distinguish the two cases (i)
currents parallel, and (ii) currents antiparallel.
(c) What is the force per unit length if I = 1
A, and the wires are 1 cm apart?

If two parallel wires have current running in the same
direction, do the wires attract each other or repel each other due
to their magnetic interaction?
My attempt so far:
I'm imagining two parallel wires oriented vertically with the
current flowing "downwards" (in the negative y direction) in each.
In this case, I believe there's a circular magnetic field that
wraps around and surrounds each respective wire in the clockwise
direction (when looking directly downwards at each wire). Can you...
