Question

Two parallel wires carry electric current in opposite directions as shown in the figure to the right. The current in each wire produces a magnetic field, and each wire experiences a magnetic force due to the field produced by the other wire. In the region of space near wire 1, in what direction does the magnetic field produced by wire 2 point?

Explanation / Answer

if the current carrying conductors carry current in the same direction magnetic field is zero

they are attract each other and if they carry in opposite direction then they repel each other magnetic field is produced

magnetic field is alwways perpendicular to current direction
