- 12.4 Check Your Understanding Two wires, both carrying current out of the page, have a current of magnitude 2.0 mA and 3.0 mA, respectively. The first wire is located at (0.0 cm, 5.0 cm) while the other wire is located at (12.0 cm, 0.0 cm). What is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length of the first wire on the second and the second wire on the first?arrow_forwardA long-rigid wire lies along the x-axis and cairns a current of 2.5 A in the positive x-direction. Around the wire is the magnetic field B=2.0i+5.0x2j, With x in meters and B in millitesla. Calculate the magnetic force on the segment of wire between x=2.0m and x=4.0m .arrow_forwardIf a charged particle moves in a straight line, can you conclude that there is no magnetic field present?arrow_forward
