A 550-turn solenoid is 12 cm long. The current in it is 38 A . A straight wire cuts through the center of the solenoid, along a 5.0-cm diameter. This wire carries a 23-A current downward (and is connected by other wires that don't concern us).     Part A What is the force on this wire assuming the solenoid's field points due east?
