Exercise 2: A long, horizontally, rigidly supported wire carries a current of 50 A. Directly above it is a fine wire, the weight of which is 0.075 N per meter, which carries a current of 25 A. The two currents are in opposite direction. How far above the first wire should the second wire be strung in order for it to be supported by magnetic repulsion?
