If two wires carry current next to each other, they will exert a force on each other. The force is caused by magnetic fields. One current creates a magnetic field, and this field exerts a force on the other current. The magnitude of the field created by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by Equation 1 below; B= (μ0i)/(2πr) where i is the current and r is the distance from the wire. The magnitude of the force exerted on...
