Question

A 2.50-m segment of wire carrying current to the motor of a submerged submarine carries 1000 A and feels a 4.00-N repulsive force from a parallel wire 5.00 cm away.  What is the magnitude and direction of the current in the other wire?

   

400 A, antiparallel to the current in the first wire

   

800 A, antiparallel to the current in the first wire

   

800 A, parallel to the current in the first wire

   

400 A, parallel to the current in the first wire
